Yes, you're missing something. Just because something IS functional, doesn't mean I am REQUIRED to make use of that function. I've got completely functional vintage pocket watches that I utilize once every several years. My everyday watch is not a pocket watch. The vintage-looking water bottles I use to display on my bike are not the ones I use on rides.

Thanks for that. I may try to locate a nice head first--seems like they're easier to find.
