I managed to find a few nice watches and didn&#8217;t end up spending a fortune either.<br />
My father also sent me a pocket watch he had in his &#8220;secret drawer&#8221;. It was a pocket watch his colleagues gave him as a gift when he left Bulgaria.<br />
Recently I also won a bid for a 1917 Hamilton 17 Jewels Pocket Watch on ebay and can&#8217;t wait to get my hands on it.<br />
So here they are (clicky on the images for a small description):<br />

<p>I&#8217;ll post more pics of the hamilton once it arrives here. Hopefully all in one piece.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think ther will be many more watches added to my collection for a while because I got banned from xbox live and so I&#8217;m thinking of getting a new xbox so am unsure of my financial status at the moment eheh.</p>
