So, the seller of this interesting watch, just offered me a special discounted price. Cool! Only problem is. I’ve bought loads of stuff lately, and this, watch while really cool, isn’t exactly what I collect. Also, it appears to be a WWI era modded Swiss pocket watch. I don’t know if it’s legitimate or a reproduction. Also, it is in really rough shape. I probably wouldn’t ever be able to get it going. But it’s cool! I’ve got until 7:30 pm California time on April 23rd. That’s two days. To make up my mind. Talk me into it or out of it. 🤔 www.ebay.com/itm/174222369843Update. I bought it. 😂

Hi. Go for it. It appears to be an unmodified trench watch not a converted pocket watch. The aftermarket conversions tend to have 12 at the 3 position and crown there as well. Parts for this should be easy for your watchmaker to provide. Cheers Phil

Got it in hand. Now I just gotta work on that impulse control.
