Hello, I was, for want of a better damn opening sentence, just wondering if anyone on the board has and uses pocket watches, and if you do what type, chain style and maintenance tips to share.. I do, and am a great endorser and supporter of them.
 
I love pocket watches. I have no decent ones though just cheap crap. I'd love to have a skeleton pocket watch one day.

Something like this.

I hate wearing any kind of jewelryor wristwatches, so I carry a reproduction 1800's skeleton watch. It's on my Great-Grandfathers watch chain with a carved ivory trefoil key fob. Also have my Great-great Uncle's silver pocket watch dated 1863 and one from his grandfather from the 1790's. Maintenance usually consists of just keeping them clean with a little compressed air can. will try to post a couple of pics when I get a chance.
