This arrived today
A pocket watch I won on eBay last weekend. It's circa 1890, almost flawless, and still has the original caseback sticker. I thought it was a bit bigger, but aside from that it's a beauty. Sharp, defined engraving, runs like a Swiss (or Philidelphia LOL) watch. These pix are from the auction, I can't take macro pix worth s**t:

Nice looking, though I find some irony in that it's a New York Standard Watch from the Philadelphia Watch Case Company of Riverside, New Jersey....

Very very nice myself now have a growing interest in pocket watches
especially those from 1890s-1920s.Some beautiful crafted movements and can be picked up for reasonable prices.

That's a beauty, pal. I love pocket watches, they're actually what my watch fascination began with. Congratulations
