I started carrying them because I can't stand wristwatches and I don't keep a cell phone on me. And yes, I think all railroad grade watches have to be lever set to prevent accidentally changing the time while winding. There's a whole list of requirements for a watch to be railroad grade - lever set, Arabic numerals, at least 16-size, black hands (although my Elgins have blued hands), etc. I think they were required to be accurate to 30 seconds per week.
