It seems like today most people see quality very different as it was seeing a while back. I marvel at the quality these pocket watches were made. Most people do not really care about quality anymore.

I understand that you do not like these forums. But I am really interested on what people thought about all these incredible brands of watches at their time? Were they wars between brands, like Ford and Chevy? Was publicity as aggressive as it is today. Were there people that only bought one...

Thank you so much for your response 49stude63. I really appreciate your info and opinions.

No not at all. I have one Waltham. Why would I need justification. I buy what I like and that is it. I want to know what people thought about these brands when they were made. As I was not alive I have no idea what reputations of fame any of these brands had.I just want to get a feel what people...

I am not saying the Waltham Vanguard was the bet movement. Was it at least in the top in your opinions. It is the most beautiful movement I have seen.

Exactly, I just wanted to hear opinions to get an idea. What do you guys think about the beginning of the century. Was Waltham considered number one then. I have a 23J Vanguard model 1892 that it is amazing. So ornate and still works excellent and it is very accurate. I can not imagine this...

I know it is a general question, but I want to know what was considered best at their time. Just like BMW or Mercedes they are considered great now. I am talking price, quality, brand recognition, reliability, and people's perceptions at the time. I guesss what I mean is the owning a Waltham...

Do you set the time every day, week? When do you check your watch for accuracy? Thanks

I am looking to buy a vintage pocket watch chain? Anyone knows where I could get one? Thanks in advance.

I am looking for some info, aproximate age, qualty, etc. I know it 7 Jewels, and that it is Swiss, any more you can give me? Thanks

What year might it be? I am not looking to sell, but could you pm me or email me at: [email protected] the actual value of it. I am just curious it is a family heirloom so it is not for sale. Thanks

What type of watches use them? And they do not seem to be popular, why? I barely see any. Let me know your opinions on these cases. I just got a silver one and would like to have some info. Thanks in advance

Re: Could you recommend a watchmaker that could fix a pocket watch case in San Franci When is the next meeting? I am trying to get this fix this week. Thanks

I have a swing ring style pocket watch case that rattles. Do you know of a good watchmaker that could take care of it locally? I live in Berkeley, California. Maybe somebody in San Francisco or in the Bay Area? Thanks in advance. This is my initial question here, describing the problem...
