Many years ago I wanted a BIG watch. This one is big (52mm) and in my eyes looked pretty and had a vintage look. So on a whim I bought first and then read later about what I had bought. Oh no! A pocket-watch conversion frowned upon by watch enthusiasts. I assume the dial is a replacement and the etching new. The movement might be real and old. When running, it goes TICK TICK TICK so LOUDLY that it can be heard from across any room. It's so loud that the previous owner couldn't stand the noise so sold it to me. For what it's worth, I think it's funky. I wear it once in a while for variation (and to annoy others who are in the same room with me). Ha!
