I bought this for my husband for our 4th wedding anniversary. I did a lot of shopping around before I settled on this one. He really wanted a skeleton pocket watch and he wanted a lot of the watch's mechanisms exposed. This watch seemed to foot that bill without costing the over $500 the ones we were looking at cost. I have to say this watch is much nicer in person. My husband was so impressed and absolutely loves it! It is a very nice size, everything is so pleasing to the eye and the construction looks very solid. Now we've only had this for a short time so I can't comment on its lasting quality but it does come with a limited lifetime warranty which is reassuring. This is truly a beautiful watch and worth every penny.

I have had the silver version of this watch for 6 months and have had it repaired twice so far. The mechanism jams and the watch will not work. It is relatively easy for a watch repairer to unjam but the problem still exists and will cost more than the value of the watch to completely fix it.
I have also heard that the main spring is likely to break if you overwind it.

The price was right, and it works very well. I didn't expect it to be as large and heavy as it was, but I believe that makes it all the sturdier and likely to last. I'm considering buying one of the smaller/lighter models they have as well.

Beautiful watch with mesmerizing movement, dazzling in the sun.

If you are looking for an absolutely amazing pocket watch / conversation piece, this is the one that I'd get (and got).

This watch is absolutely gorgeous. The new owner says he is thrilled!

its a very shiny and good looking pocket watch. the body seems very durable and with the chain it just looks magnificent. It'll make a great gift. my boyfriend loves this watch and displays it on his desk.

The Avalon Mechanical Pocket Watch #8619G received this date is not the pictured watch used to sell it. The internal parts are not totally golden. This is not a $235.05 / $115.00. This watch has become very a unpleasant purchase.
