that I really liked about this watch. It's slightly taller at 54mm and 130 grams (4-1/2 oz) heavier than my Hamilton 992B, which is 50mm and 95 grams (3-1/4 oz). As a hunting case, it is also thicker. Once in the pocket, this difference is not very noticeable. It feels really good in the hand and the gunmetal finish is very nice. Good enough for a suit and strong enough for jeans. I've seen other reviews of Gotham pocket watches in the same price range sell out quickly. This one too. But this moment doesn't really bother me. I'll give them a couple of weeks to get used to it and if they have time I'll figure out how to open and customize the case. Edit: After resetting the time and observing for a few days, the watch seems to be keeping very good time. Maybe I didn't get it right the first time? In any case, I have no complaints about its accuracy now. What I didn't see in the product description is that both the front and back are open. To open the back, press the stem latch and then open the back with your fingernail near the stem. It hasn't opened yet. The works are then displayed through a glass door. It is clear where the tuner is located. So why doesn't it bother me that it works fast on day one? When I got my first Hamilton railway watch (21 jewels, anchor set) I was working as an agent at a railway station in 1969. The first thing I had to do (by federal law since I was connected to rail service) was take her. to an authorized jewelry store and get calibrated and certified. This was before quartz watches were approved for use on the railroad. As wonderful as this clock was, and despite how much mysticism surrounded it, because it was not as accurate as the first Quasar clock. Many railroad workers wore their Quasar to keep accurate time and took certified Hamilton watches to show to inspectors. These Hamiltons were manually synchronized each morning with the master clock in the chief pilot's office by voice over the station's general communications circuits (large party line). I also. In fact, I worked part-time for the railroad for a number of years. But it started my love for good pocket watches. I tuned my current Hamilton 992B myself. Railroads have not needed certified pocket watches for many years, and nowhere else can you take them and calibrate them like many years ago. Today many digital clocks are more accurate than real railway clocks. Or any other mechanical watch for that matter. You should also know that this Gotham watch is by no means a true railroad watch in anything but style.
