    My smallest pocket watch. 17 jewels. Waltham in a gold filled case. Steel penny for size reference

    I'm glad that you found the right watch! It looks great, I like the color combination. The movements on these should be pretty solid too.

    I like my daily wearer which is a Seiko 5 automatic. But, if I don't wear it for a day, it stops.

    Saw one of these at an antique store last week, had a darkened yellow-orange face but that may have been the age of the plastic crystal. Striking, either way.

    Very Nice! I think the crystal has yellowed on mine. But, it has character!

    Hands retouched with fresh coat of glow. The rest is the original patina.
