How do I Identify a pocket watch?

[GandalfPC]

Opening the back dust cover so you can see the movement is the way to go. Note all markings, makers name if it appears, and most importantly - the serial number.

Hi,

Cool...sounds like aneat watch...
I love guesing games. Most of these that I have seen, marked in this manner, are rather inexpesive versions.

Is it a slide or push button repeater?

Minute register?

14k or 18k?

My guess? 14k, push button repeat, thin case, no minute register.

Pics!! Jeff Hess

18k or 14k?

Just to clarify

A slide repeater operates by "sliding" the button on teh side while a push repeater has the buttoin pressed directly into the watch.

If a push button repeater it may be a La Phare.
If a slide repeater there are more viable candidates.

Shugart has some examples.
