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
accidentally 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...
I did not have a chain
handy. I do not like them because they can easily scratch the watches. So I
quickly cut this leather strap that will also safely carry my watch.
