Antique Pocket Watches
Help with an antique pocket watch?
My father had a pocket watch that was his father before him, about 40 years, he has been stolen and I'd like to find another, as to give it to him for Christmas because he still thinks of her often. I looked Ebay, but I'm a bit lost and I do not know what to do. I do not know if this is the kind of place to get help with that, but I had at least try … I think it is: open face, a face with a sort of ivory pink sticker, has Roman numerals, I think it was purchased France. If anyone can help me in any way to follow a descent, I would really appreciate it!
