Hi Besview,
Interesting Beijing Olympics pocket watch. Is it by Omega?

Chris,
Nice looking vintage Hamilton pocket watch. Is the case solid gold or gold filled?

 :Cheers:

Chris,
Now that is what I call a serious pocket watch with a proper manual MM.Mine's an elcheapo quartz wan.
After seeing yrs,I might be tempted to buy  a proper one 8)


Danny,
That was an el cheapo dunno-wat-brand quartz that I picked up from my watch kaki in UK for peanuts.My son likes to take it to school during exams and place it in front of him so as to knw how much time he has left
