I bought this for my dad for Father's Day, and he loves it!  My dad loves watches, pocket watches and clocks.  He really loves timepieces that he has to wind up manually.  I loved the look of this one and the fact that it was mechanical (no battery required).  My dad didn't have a black pocket watch until he opened his Father's Day present.  He loves it!  He never understood why the back would open on some pocket watches until I told him that the back opened so that it could stand up.  He loves being able to see the mechanics working.  He loves the colors.  And he loves that he doesn't have to open the watch to see the time because there are roman numerals on the front of the watch so he can see the hands moving and see what time it is without opening it.  The watch arrived a day or two before delivery estimate and it was in near perfect condition - just a couple spots to buff out before I gave it to my dad and then it was perfect (it did come with a polishing cloth).  All in all, I'm an very happy with my purchase and would do business with this seller again.
