One last thing: >>17909885 is right regarding experimenting with the Unitas clones or original Unitas movements if you plan on taking stuff apart seriously. I'm not someone who would try fixing a vintage pocket watch without the help of someone experienced who has worked with them before, because there are quirks about these movements that you wouldn't figure out with common sense.

Good luck!

Have a great thread, Anons!

Lots, but it depends on the price-point as well as what you want it to do in terms of accuracy. The best value by far is to go vintage; railroad specs required pocket watches to have a variance of no more than +/- 10 seconds per WEEK, so if you get a railroad grade watch by Hamilton, Waltham, Elgin, or Ball, you'll be fine. Depending on the manufacturer, you'll learn about what calibre you should look for.

The only issue you really need to think about is having a trusted watchmaker onhand. Sometimes vintage watches need help, and you won't be able to send them in to companies to have them serviced.

If you go modern, all the major brands make pocket watches (at ridiculous prices), but I think there are ones you can get with Miyota movements in them from smaller brands like Rotary.

>fwiw: mine is a Waltham Vanguard with crown at 3 configuration roughly from 1911. The case is a Deuber, and because of a service from my watchmaker, it holds +/- 0.7 per day. I use it when I have to wear the three-piece suit.
