I love this watch! The roman numerals are a classic for a pocket watch. It came boxed and covered in bubble wrap with not one imperfection, the watch has a protective covering over the body to keep it from scratching and you can hardly tell its there! the inside has small spiral engravings that add a nice texture, perfect for anything! i use this watch as a necklace instead of an antique one and it think it is wonderful, as my friends have told me.
