I dug my last pocket watch last summer. About due again I'd say.

Sweet find, I think it's kinda cool that the hands are still there and show the time it stopped. It makes you wonder what day/year it was.

Thanks for sharing.

opened up with thin blade pocket knife. had to pop open two round compartments. the movment itself is in poor to fair condition, but with some cleaning we managed to get the full movment number off the inside upper bracket of the watch.( sure this thing will never tick again)
