I bought this pocketwatch for my partner two Christmases ago, and he has been quite happy with it.  I was impressed with the beauty and apparent durability of the piece.  The shine makes the case look cheap in photos, but in real life, it looks elegant and feels well-made.  The inner workings seem fine as well; my man has carried the watch for quite some time and never complained.  It is a wonderful conversation piece; everyone who sees it finds it remarkable.  The decorations are stunning, and the watch's weight feels good in the hand.

I think this makes a classy gift, especially considering the low price.  A nice extra touch might be to put a small engraving on that blank embossed oval; I wonder if that is its purpose!
