LOL, and I thought I was the only one who destroys watches. I find that the cheaper watch that I buy the better chance that it lasts a long time... at least 2 years. I also no longer remove the clear plastic cover on the back, if it does not have one, I than coat the back with clear nail polish.

I have numerous pocket watches (at least 6 or more) that keep time. I prefer to wear them when i am wearing a waistcoat, so it goes in the pocket with a nice chain showing. i have had one that I recieved for christmas when i was a frosh in highschool, it was small, and it still runs, when i remember to wind it up.

I love pocket watches!!
