Members Gezzer Posted December 9, 2022 Members Report Posted December 9, 2022 I have a pair of Carharts that doesn't have a watch pocket ( not the pair in this pic ) so this is my work around . I know not many use a pocket watch anymore and I would guess some day you won't be able to find any brand still sewing them in their pants ......... the joy of getting old and outdated Quote
Members Tugadude Posted December 9, 2022 Members Report Posted December 9, 2022 As a "watch guy" I give this a big thumbs up! Anything which allows for watches of that sort to be used is awesome in my book. Nice job. Quote
Members Gezzer Posted December 9, 2022 Author Members Report Posted December 9, 2022 Thanks man ! Quote
MikeRock Posted December 9, 2022 Report Posted December 9, 2022 Watches......yup. Some with a key in the front, others on top. An old fellow I worked with always carried a key wind. One day a fellow told him his wife had a new baby, and Kenny asked, "Open face or stem wind"... Took a second to get it, but then had a good laugh. Quote
Members Scoutmom103 Posted December 9, 2022 Members Report Posted December 9, 2022 Very nice. Could you show the attachment for the loop around your pant's loop? Quote
Members rleather Posted December 9, 2022 Members Report Posted December 9, 2022 I love pocket watches, I have two that could use a pouch.That is inspiring, Me thinks, after Christmas , I will have to come up with a couple. Great job! Quote

Members Nikos69 Posted December 10, 2022 Members Report Posted December 10, 2022 Nicely executed design. I like how your case keeps the watch at the same level as the pocket which retains muscle memory. Quote

I carried a pocket watch for many years. It worn out and no one could fix it. Finding pants with watch pockets did also become a challenge. I love you idea. And you presentation is excellent!

I have carried one most of my life , a couple of nice ones , and was quite hard on them back when I was working . Learned pretty early on not to get to many $$ into one but this one which cost under 50 bucks will have to be repaired whatever the cost Daughter bought it and then engraved it herself so you see I just have to hope it doesn't break ........ and yes she can spell , it's just what she called me as a toddler ( Diddy for Daddy ) Edited December 12, 2022 by Gezzer Quote
