Here Ya Go Fellas!

I picked up a pocket watch in Bulgaria a few years ago at an antique market, and I want to know if it's real or a fake. It seems to have a decent action, and the guts don't look cheap. On the other hand I was warned by the locals I was with it might be fake, and the face is laminated paper (I didn't discover this for some time.) Could you look at pictures and give me an answer with any degree of certainty, or point me towards someone who could?

Let's have a look at the pictures. What is the watch supposed to be and how is it marked? A laminated paper face sounds like a pretty inexpensive watch. [huh]

Regards,

J

In Italian ,it's pronounced lin-yeh. Most hat factories still use this term for measuring the bands .

It's amazing that we aren't measuring bands in millimeters or some other metric unit .
