Pull your old vintage watch out the drawers and I tell you what it is.
I need clear pictures front, dial, back and if possible the movement (motor).
If its a old watch than it probably has a screw back or a snap back.
Do not force this if it will not open! Giveaways for a screw back are grooves, teeth on the top or sides of the backcase. A snap back is mostly plain.

More interested in vintage and military watches but have a general knowledge of all the good brands.
Not really specialized in battery operated movements but you can try.

My grandfather had a pocket watch.
I can't remember if he bought it in Sweden or after he came to America.
Either way, I believe it is early 1900s.
My brother has it.
I'll ask him to look for it.
