I do look at it, but only when nobody is around to avoid the embarrassmentSo happy to see you here, Stephen!
Thank you for your post. A nice watch you have there, thank you for showing.
I think you will find one of the watches I am going to show especially interesting...
Droyal, if you wear two watches at the same time, don't you feel embarased to pull out your pocket watch while you are wearing another one? Or do you ever look at it? Or only when nobody else is there?
This morning I still didn't have good photos to show you. And since I need to coordinate my ressources between family and hobbies, I decided to ask my older son, who just turned four years old, to help me with the photoshoot.
I hope you like what came out
A little information:
The first stainless steel one is a Seiko SAPQ003
The second is a golden Citizen, for which I really couldn't find any information.
The third watch is a golden Citizen Cosmotron X8. I was really surprised to find it and just had to have it. I love the combination of modern and classic, as it is expressed not only in the concept of state of the art technology (of the 1960's) built into a traditional concept of a pocket watch, but also through the contemporary highly modern design of the period.
Enjoy:
If you get embarrass to use them Don't use them. You should be proud to use them in public because today people don't have such ....I do look at it, but only when nobody is around to avoid the embarrassment![]()
Stephen, I think you would find your watch in the catalogues section of this site, in the catalogue of 1974. I don't know if the model was offered in the 60's, but it was in '74.Here's mine - This is a Homer model from the mid 1960s I think - I love the black hands:

What do you mean with "belt pocket watch"? What is the diference? A dieferent chain clip?I have a nice 7622 (interesting manual wind calibre?)
It doubles as a pocket watch but I believe it is the belt pocket watch too.
Interesting thread![]()
Ah, thanks Scoobadoo, I hadn't spotted that before in the '74 catalog. This type of pocket watch was offered in the mid-1960s, but on reflection they would be the ones marked 'parashock' and 'phynox'.Stephen, I think you would find your watch in the catalogues section of this site, in the catalogue of 1974.

It would be nice to have a hand wind, one day. Mine are all battery driven (which by all means I don't find bad for itself).
