·Like Seikos, there seems to be a lot of pocket watches hiding in the Omega Forum woodwork. So lets see them! Hold nothing back, Omegas, American railroad pieces, Russian... um... stuff... all of it. If you know the watch's history lets hear it.
I'll kick it off... Digging through Dad's stuff recently (they're downsizing to an apartment) I found a stash of his old railway stuff.
First... his Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineer pins. Cool stuff as he started out on steam engines.
The engine in the book is a CNR Mountain class engine.... number 6060 of this series still survives in a museum in western Canada, he ran that very engine when it was still in regular service. The watch is a Hamilton 992B of the type he wore on the engines.
The 992B movement, Dad's watch is still around as well.
The picture is likely of Port Arther station (now Thunder Bay) as that was Dad's home ground.
So come on guys... out with the history! Let see it.
