    Nifty! I like it. And you can easily get around the "no new watches" rule.... just buy vintage!

    Purchased today from my local watchmaker...a railroad grade Elgin B.W. Raymond 571 (c. 1952). It's my first Elgin as well as my first Montgomery dial...so I'm pretty psyched...good times! :thumbsup:

    Dangit! Nice one Ed. I have had my eye out for one of those ever since seeing Adam's long ago.

    Nice one! I bought my first pocketwatch recently, but I haven't quite figured out how I most like to wear it. I'm thinking about putting in my pocket next time - it kept sliding off my wrist. I'm just not Mad Cool enough I guess. :(

    Any smaller than this 41mm and the scales would be even more difficult to read, but it's a beautiful dial.
