Thinwrist 66 Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) I don’t know if this counts as a genuine. 1950s Lord Elgin size 10 pocket watch movement adjusted to 8 positions I fit into a wrist conversation case. Edited November 27, 2020 by Thinwrist 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redfire1066 10,946 Posted November 27, 2020 @Thinwrist smashing watch . . bizarrely in the past I had often met the current Lord Elgin, Andrew Douglas Alexander Thomas Bruce, 11th Earl of Elgin and 15th Earl of Kincardine, KT, CD, JP, DL, he was born back in 1924, styled as Lord Bruce before 1968, Andrew is a Scottish peer and Chief of Clan Bruce. .. . he is in his 90's the old boy . . 96 I think. His son and Heir apparent . ... Charles Bruce, Lord Bruce is quite a character and is very colourful and chatty man. He has the reigns these days and was a regular Pre-Covid lockdown having a pint of ale and a whisky chaser in the local village pubs in Limekilns, Fife. .. . Wonder if he is aware of this watch brand & model ? . .. .. . I'll remember to throw it in the conversation should he be chatting to a mere PLEB such as I . .. .. me Lord !! . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
