Reply to "Railroad Pocket Watches"

jd-trainOGR Forum Member

I just wanted to give a bump to this older thread, as I forgot is was here and thought it might be of interest to some of the newer forum members.

I normally wear a Luminox wrist watch. There are times (like now), however, when the battery dies on my modern watch and I need to wear another one.

Luckily, I also have a 1923 Illinois Bunn Special (21J) with a Bunn Special case that I found on eBay 8 years ago. The workmanship on these old pocket watches is outstanding. Aside from being beautiful, they just run, run, and run. My watch is now 96 years old!

My Bunn Special is shown in my post on page 6. I wanted to renew this thread, however, as there is a LOT of information contained in the thread and lots of great pictures of these classic timepeices.
