not having stopwatch for timed VOR is illegal

Stopwatch?  Don't you mean a clock?  And note that the clock must be in the panel, your watch doesn't count. 

Not that you can't use a stopwatch, or a kitchen timer like I used to use before all the other timers appeared in my panel.  But a stopwatch itself will make you illegal. 

ADDED:  Just checked and I remember it saying it needed to be an installed clock, but it looks like that has changed to just a clock. REF: 91.205(d) (6) A clock displaying hours, minutes, and seconds with a sweep-second pointer or digital presentation.

The “must be an installed appliance… with a permanent clock presentation” requirement was a 2016 Chief Counsel  interpretation. I don’t think there has been a change to that part of the reg.

I will stick with, “not according to current regulatory guidance” on the use of “suitable RNAV systems” and agree to disagree on what is required for primary nav on a LOC course.

It’s much easier with NDB procedures flown with GPS and ADF, it lacks legal guidance on when to make “GPS/VLOC switch”

Good to know.  I don't know when it changed from 91.33 to 91.205, but I guess that 2016 legal interp. was to put back in/clarify the "installed" part that was left out of the wording.
