Pocketwatches

[Bugbear]

It doesn't seem to take too much dirt etc to stop the watch from working properly. I have mine cleaned every year-and-a-half to two years, but like I said before, it has no chrystal so I can feel the hands.
I've had a couple of watch repairmen tell me that it has a very good Swiss action and is a well built watch , though.

When I bought it, I was told to always push the release button down to close the lid, so the lid doesn't snap over the latch. That's a habbit now, but don't know if it really makes a difference.

I can't stand those talking watches because everyone knows you are checking the time.
