As seen before, the pocket watch was my grandfather's and the Hamilton is a retirement presentation watch from 1967, it was my wife's grandfather's. I have been carrying the pocket watch a lot recently, along with wearing a wristwatch. I am comparing it's

Cool! Do you have a picture of the movement?

He has a great selection!
