It is always prudent as a bbq judge and competitor to have a trusted time piece to promptly make the appointed turn in times. I have had a pocket watch in my catch all drawer for many a years. It was a gift from my father that was passed down from his father and most likely gifted from his father. I brought it to a jeweler/watch repairman for restoration. He informed me that this was an Elgin 21 jewel pocket watch that dated back from 1895. The jeweler also said this watch should last at least another 100 years.

I like having something that has been in the family for several generations.
Big Dude, I have had this watch in a drawer for so many years. I was really surprised that it was made in 1895. It is special for me.
