I have the same watch and am rather disappointed with it. It stops all the time. I bought mine at a train show somewhere a long time ago. It is a good looking watch. I hope you have better luck with yours.

> Just bought a pocket watch with Norfolk & Western Railway on the upper part of the dial face, and a rendering of a "J" pulling a passenger train on the lower part of the dial. The front of the case has a fairly nicely detailed 0-4-4-0 with a tender and a heavyweight behind it. Back of the case is just a floral design.
