Thanks Chuck. That kind of information was exactly what I was looking for. "Special" is in the eye of the beholder. It does sound like a watch he would fancy because it would have probably been the kind of watch an engineer would have carried. Plus, it is a pretty good watch. I saw it briefly. Looked like most any old pocket watch to me. I believe it did have an engraved, gold colored case. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
