You’ve already roasted your collection. They’re all burnt to a crisp.

My Timex Expedition Scout. It’s a cool, no-nonsense watch that I wear reasonably often, but it’s damn loud. I don’t mind the noise that much, though.

I think it’s pretty cool, and I especially like the railroad history connection.

I agree with the above commenter who said they can be a bit tryhardy. Big-time. A pocket watch in 2023 sort of screams affectation like “look at me, I’m cool and different because I have this vintage pocket watch. Did I mention I have a pocket watch? Oh, this old thing? It’s just my pocket watch”.

If it’s natural to you, it’s fine. That’s actually quite pretty. If it fits you, rock it. Don’t worry much about what others opinions would be about pocket watches in 2023.

Thanks for the info. I’ll start looking into those. No rush, though, because I’m mostly just in the pool at the moment.
