    Honestly never seen one. Something to keep in mind, there is almost no value in pocket watches by brands that no longer exist, nobody wears them, and due to their good design, and the fact that most haven't been used in 50 years, there are hundreds of thousands of good pocket watches around while only a handful of people are interested in them. Don't spend any money repairing this one, if you have a desire for a pocket watch, its much cheaper and better to just buy the one you want, they don't cost much!

    Lest anyone think this type of thread is a new development.

    Too much work to confirm, but I can’t imagine the frequency/active member ratio for posts of this nature has risen either. If anything it has probably gone down.

    p.s. I wonder how the self-repair plan worked out?:cautious:
