My OH bought me a pocket watch from ebay for about £20 at current exchange rates and in our somewhat dubious economy is about $4 million dollars or whatever. It has a skeleton movement and is a very nice pocket watch. I have kept it going continuously by winding everyday and it has kept exceptional time judged against my Rolex submariner. I cant fault it for £20 its a bargain. If I do drop it then its cheap enough to replace. I know you can spend $$$s but IMHO my £20 cheapo is worth ten times as much.

I do have an heirloom Waltham but its too precious to me to actually wear it.
