I have a 1934 walker in a pocketwatch. Gift from my parents for my wedding. I'll post it when I get it after xmas (my parents are in Texas and have gotten it engraved, won't be able to get it until then).

So now they're making fake watches out of counterfeit coins. Beautiful.

At least the seller has 96.5% feedback. Sounds legit.

That's so low as to be a complete disqualifier, but reading the actual feedback is more encouraging. He got a Neg for "excessive shipping" when he stated the cost plainly and he's in Hong Kong. You can't ship halfway around the world for $1.85.

Not a fake watch. The movement is by Citizen, so not just some five and dime crap. Not Rolex either. LOL But decent. They claim right up front it is a replica coin obverse, so no issue there. I see nothing to dissuade a purchase here.

The watch I want is one that has a Morgan in it, reverse side up. Cant remember the catalog its in, but its laying around here somewhere. That sucker was like 150.00

SRD, that movement made by Citizen is nothing more than a cheap Chinese knockoff. Remember, you get what you pay for - $4.99.
A buddy of mine picked up a Rolex knock off in China on one of his trips teaching the Chinese how to do his job for Kodak. He payed $20.00 for this thing and it quit after about a month. A local repair person told him to just throw it away.

I really like that one. I'm trying to find a pocket watch that is relatively inexpensive with a coin in it. I found one with a replica Confederate half in it, looked really nice, but way too much money for something not even made of real silver. I think it was around $150 for it and included a presentation case.
