Back in Vietnam times, every Bx, Px, and Exchange sold these to squids and soldiers everywhere. I was assigned to a ship in the navy canoe club, making small money -- very small. But I saved for a few months to buy one displayed in the ship's store. Wore it for centuries until the mainspring broke. I still keep it as a memento of the olde tymes.
Zods are made again by some outfit that bought rights, but some rare old (and working) models pop up on auctions.
