Pocket Watch Suggestion

[AJStoner]

I like pocket watches but it would be nice if they had some use online--since you can spend money to buy them and all.  Two options come to mind:

 

1)  Cosmetic:  Add the watch-fob graphic (used on Dutch's character from story mode) to any vest the character is wearing when a watch is equipped.

 

2) Function:  Add time to any mission timers for a player that has once since they can use time more efficiently by owning one;

*  +1 minute for a silver watch.

* +2 minutes for a gold watch.

* +3 minutes for a platinum watch.

 

Thoughts?

It would be really nice to have them show on a waistcoat but I'd really like to be able to use it when on horseback - we can deploy a metal detector but not a watch - really!!

I bought a watch in story mode, before I figured out that tapping ALT shows the time. I thought, at the least, it would show on my character.

I do like the idea of adding a bit of time to the mission timer.

I like those ideas. Makes sense to make them functional somehow for the game. I never understood adding things to a game that serve no purpose.

well... i'd love to be able to remove the watch from the wheel. i activated it by mistake and now seems that there's no way to get rid of it.

I think you have to select a watch you've picked-up off a looted body, activate THAT as your watch, then sell it.  That should reset the watch activation.

I never bothered with buying them because to me, they felt quite useless. I like the idea of giving extra time to missions. It makes sense given that it is a pocket watch.

I understand not likening things that serve no purpose or function in a game but a lot of it adds to the environment and aura of a game
