B.W. Raymond railroad grade Elgin Pocketwatch, a gift from a watch friend 2006

Thank you Harold Clitheroe for the additional info on HOW TO wear a pocket watch...
I was so proud of my leather bag, then Harold posted this on the PMWF.com ... please use a watch chain with it. if you accidenatlly drop any nice old PW, you will more than likely break the staff. A chain will prevent them from hitting the cold hard ground. When pocket watches were (and they actually still are) approved for work with Canadian Pacific, chains were a mandatory requirement from the Timekeepers Office...
Point taken Harold! I had then archived this suggestion: Another way to wear a Pocketwatch and got the idea for the above leather strap. The longish cut-out can be used to fit the upper end to a shirt button or as in the picture, to thread the strap and attach it to a belt or a belt loop etc.
And cutting that strap was a lot easier then stitching the bag :) That took about 5 minutes including cutting the slot and cleaning out the edges of the leather a bit.
