Need info on pocket watches

[Tobus]

No doubt, the older pocket watches look so much better than new ones. I just haven't found one yet that both suits my style and is affordable! Older watches seem to be in fairly high demand, especially with the Steampunk crowd buying them all up.

I'm lucky to have an old one from my grandfather, that I got because we have the same initials.

And ... before someone asks. It's not for sale.

One problem with old watches is, they are not completely tight. After several years in the watch pocket of jeans, the inside was full of lint, and a complete cleaning was due. My watchmaker advised me, to put the watch in a silk-lined pocket at best, or at least not in rough cotton.
