Green isn't very old and far from death, and it's not like he won't ever see Gao Yi again, yet why does he insist on leaving him with a keepsake?
Regardless, Gao Yi did accept the watch and put it on, and it actually feels quite good to wear it.
Although it's an old watch with a lot of history, it feels significant, weighty on the wrist.
A product of the 1980s, back when there were no electronic chips, no electronic features, and certainly no GPS positioning and communication functions, but now, just as the modern 007 movies are getting worse with every release, the watches used by spies now are also becoming less appealing.
It's the pinnacle of the mechanical age like this that conveys the last vestiges of glory for Great Britain, unlike now, where the UK has lost its glory, the Military Intelligence Sixth Department is languishing, and even the 007 movies are unwanted by audiences.
Gao Yi examines his new watch with affection clearly evident.
