Not so long ago a little girl decided that the watch, in its glass dome, was too much of a temptation. While she was left alone in the room, she wound the watch to a point which made it break again. <br />I'm going to wait for the next generation to fix it. Maybe they have better luck.

So that was good to know. The rest of its history is maligned by a Jeweler from Boston. So look out for a person from England who now lives in Boston.

It is known to be the finest watch in the world and wanting to keep it away from harm is a very smart idea.<br />To think that an Englishman and belonging to a guild of "Jewelers Board of trade" would take such a chance of ruining his reputation. We were going to report him but decided to let it go.

Sorry you were treated so badly regarding repairs and falsehoods! I like that you are keeping it displayed in such a lovely setting - wish I had seen it when visiting, I have a thing for pocket watches. . . . .and the handsome gentlemen who wore them!!!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-60673249552748210152021-01-13T13:04:47.857-07:002021-01-13T13:04:47.857-07:00Dear Gina - someone certainly did a scam, but it i...Dear Gina - someone certainly did a scam, but it is a beautiful watch, which now works, so best just to put the bad experience on one side and just enjoy it.<br />My husband has a Rolex wristwatch which he received for his 21st birthday. It costs a small fortune to be serviced, so much so that he will not let me take it to the jewellers to have it done, which I actually think is a shame, as it is malingering, unused in its box.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.com
