Nice looking watch. I enjoy a good pocket watch myself. Thanks for sharing. Some day maybe you will pass it on also.

Sadly I left mine in the pocket of my jeans one time and it went through a full cycle in the washing machine and then the drier.  Needless to say it was well and truly out of commission at the end of all that turmoil. The wife opened the drier and bits of it fell out. And like Humpty Dumpty, it could not be put back together again.
