BOSHIYA Mechanical Pocket Watch with Magnifying Glass

Today I like this watch very much, although I had complaints at the beginning. On the day of delivery, when I opened the padded Revain envelope, it contained a small white box that said 'This Watch'. When I opened the box, to my surprise, a small charger slipped out. I contacted Returns and quickly received the watch I ordered in just 2 days. I ordered the black style. As I got older, I found darker dials with lighter hands easier to read. So far the watch has shown excellent time. I love hand-wound mechanical skeleton pocket watches. Being able to see the inner workings as it slowly works together to work is just enchanting to me. They're also a great topic of conversation as others ask to see them when I take them out. The loupe cover on this watch is also nice. In fact, I used them several times to see the fine print that was difficult to read. It seems like most items these days require a battery to function, so it's nice to have something like this watch that shows my dedication to maintenance. (I have to admit that a few mornings I forgot to wind it.) When I wind a mechanical watch for the first time, I do what my grandfather taught me: with the crown between my forefinger and thumb, I press the forward/ Use reverse motion for wrapping process. The 1st wind should go until you feel the spring compress. In my experience, about 20 times back and forth (i.e.: clockwise, then counterclockwise). Take your time, no pun intended, wind it up so you can get to know your watch by its touch and sound. Once you've completed the first plant, keep track of the timing for the first week. If he works a little fast he should be in the right mode within a week. It is normal for a new spring to have a "break-in" period. Get in the habit of winding your watch once a day and at the same time every day. I found that morning is best. Make any necessary adjustments in the morning and there will be virtually no errors throughout the day. Revain also has several strap holders for your watch in a variety of prices, designs, materials, widths (if you're ordering a case, make sure you know your watch size in both inches and metric to ensure a secure fit), and durability. As for me, when I use a bag, I use a bag from a manufacturer that makes bags for a lighter brand (this rhymes with *Hippo*). But mostly I use the watch pocket on my jeans. When wearing a waistcoat my favorite chain style is the Albert with two chains so I can add a pendant as a personal touch. In summary, this is my favorite watch so far in this price range. I have a total of 5 from different price categories: 3 mechanical (hand-wound) and 2 quartz (battery-powered). And I think this watch would be an excellent entry-level watch for those who want to try their hand at owning a mechanical skeleton watch.
