The Throbber got a new watch today and I'm pretty fucking proud.

Here is my pocket watch- iirc it dates back to late 1800’s

I love it.

Second. Pocket watches are awesome. Do you ever wear it out @LebamDawg? I always thought if styled right, dudes look really sharp with one. The character Boyd Crowder from “Justified” pulled it off:



You have to be careful though, or else you start heading into steampunk territory.

If I ever find one I like I’m getting one and see if I can get it made into a sweet necklace:

it would take more than a "styling right" to make me look sharp. I don't wear or use it - and going out? I live in friggin' Pacific County, going out is stopping at the Chester Club for oysters (damn good by the way) and playing pool. Me and Mrs. Lebam make sure there isn't any chicken or goat poop on the boots and we are ready to go.

Steampunkers don't have to worry - I am not competition.

I am getting ready to give the watch to my kid - btw the initials on the watch are my grandpa's JSR

@Doog_de_Jour just do a search for gold pocket watchs and there are tons and they are not expensive.

Today I learned that Swaye should quit his job at Orkin and become a high-end watch broker.

If I could do math I would.
