Went 53 years without a suit, but figured it was about time. So the purchase of a proper, fitted suit has come to fruition.
Perhaps it was just a reason to buy a pocket watch, so the search begins!

Go the 7550 Railroad things. Not expensive and probably won't need service. Be careful if going vintage. Went 53 years without a suit, but figured it was about time.

Not sure of your price range? Here is one of one but maybe they could make you another. youtu.be/ubHre0yMH_cWith that in mind though maybe swing by eBay search moonphase and then select pocket watch many listed from broken and cheap to pricey. Adding a bit of complication would make it kind of special...

Grab yourself one with a 6498 movement. Then sign up to Adrian’s thread in the Benefactor ‘Learning’ section and wait...

My great grandfather’s 14k Waltham that he purchased when he came to this country in the 1910’s. I serviced it, new mainspring, cleaned the porcelain dial and blue hands and had case dents removed. I use rarely when I wear a tuxedo These are always great. WW2 military issued pocket watches. This was used in a sextant.

Yeah...I've dropped the ball with that. It's still on the "to-do" list. Grab yourself one with a 6498 movement. Then sign up to Adrian’s thread in the Benefactor ‘Learning’ section and wait...
