I love it! How does it run, and how do you use it? Do you wear it? I have one that is beautiful but would cost over a thousand to get running and I can not justify it. I wear it anyway.

Carolyn

It hasn't arrived yet but I will wear it either on a chain or as it is a Hunter, just carry it in my pocket.

I have a silver Albert chain, but will have to look for a gold one now. :(

It's just been serviced and so should be running just fine.

A thousand dollars seems an awful lot to get yours up and running again. :shock:

That's a lovely timepiece. Do you also have a collection of monocles and snuff boxes, perchance? :wink:

Actually collecting monocles would be a bit weird.

A good looking watch lovely dial and case although the enamel on the engraving spoils it for me. I would try to remove the enamel, the engraving would become less obvious, maybe that's why it was painted in the first place.
No more Quartz (except when I cannot resist).

Scooter - I am just taken with the movements on these pocket watches you have been sharing with us. Truly wish more were the "salesman" verions you shared with me in past threads. Would be perfect for collectors to stare and enjoy the movement working away.
