My other new arrival - this is my very first pocket watch purchase, arrived today. I was so excited when I saw the mail courier come to my door, I knew it had to be this one.
Now, since this is my first pocket watch, it's a stem wind, I'd like to know if I just wind it as you would a wristwatch or is there anything I need to be careful of? I turned the stem just little and it is running but I don't want to wind it anymore without knowing if it's okay.
I've been admiring since it arrived and I think it's just beautiful Here's a link to pics of my new beauty (of course, this is *my* opinion)

Sidenote: I had posted this under the other thread (Durand) and realized I should've seperated the topics.
