Still no tripod or lightbox so I had to shoot handheld again and use a flash, hence the harsh light.
I just could not hold it steady enough using only ambient light.

Still, great shots on a work of art Chip!

These old pocket watches don't get the attention that they should.
Thanks for posting!

Thanks Rob.

It runs great and keeps better time than my Sub LV!

I got it as a gift from my girlfriend's dad a few weeks ago and it is my first pocket watch.
Still can't believe this 104 years old watch is still ticking.

Simply beautiful!

I know....The craftsmanship and artistry on these century old pieces is superb for that day and age. They sit well with any modern era piece!

I've had two over the years, and unfortunately let both go. However, these pocket watches are what got me into the fold as a modern WIS!

Enjoy that pocket watch Chip!

These are incredible pictures Chip! You sure know how to handle that camera!

By the way, that watch is very beautiful! Wear it...well...put it in your pocket in good health!

"Wore" it tonight!
I had my LV on the wrist and the Waltham in my pocket!

Nah... i still have way more watches than my paycheck can afford.

Unless you are talking about down to one girlfriend haha. If that's what you meant, then... yes.

Well done Chip.

Good to see you are settling down.
