Here is some information on pocket watch sizes. Most of the American pocket watches, with the exception of the early E. Howard movements, used what is referred to as the Lancashire system as a standard.

The Dr Mom Otoscopes are around 7 inches long and weigh 4oz with batteries. They are much lighter and easier to hold in your hand than the heavier professional models. This becomes especially important if you are using the otoscope to do an exam on an uncooperative child. They also fit nicely in a coat pocket and come standard with a pocket clip to make sure it stays in place when clipped in your pocket. See similar questions...

Unless otherwise specifically stated (ie., youth or women's), all our garments are base on a full cut men's sizing (not unisex). Our garments are graded up from men's standard sizing : for example...chest sizes We tell people "If you're a large...order a large". Most people would panic if we listed the actual measurements of each garment. For example, the actual chest measurements of our HD201 Quinault rain parka for size large is 54".... but...you have to remember what you're wearing under it. See similar questions...

North America: Most vehicles have an emissions decal placed either on the backside of the hood, on the radiator core support, or on the air box (the box that holds the air filter in place). Your engine size should be shown on the decal (4.0L for example). If you can't find the emissions decal you may also find the engine size printed on the decal under the hood that shows your engine's belt routing. See similar questions...

First of all, you will need the Serial number of the pocket watch movement. The movement is the workings (i.e. "guts") of the watch. If you do not know how to open the case to view the movement, have no fear! This article by NAWCC member Kent Singer will be helpful and covers most if not all of the antique case styles. Second, Pocket Watch Site has published estimated production dates for most of the American pocket watches produced on the Watch Information section of our web site. See similar questions...

This is a very hard question to answer. This really depends on the condition and rarity of the particular watch. Another factor that can substantially effect the value of a watch is the case material. For example, a gold filled case is worth less than the same case in solid gold, for obvious reasons. Most people use the values published annually in the Complete Price Guide to Watches by Cooksey Schugart as a guide. See similar questions...

Most main springs in antique pocket watches will last 28-30 hours or so. Some pocket watches, like the Sixty Hour Bunn and Bunn Special from the Illinois Watch Company, will last longer. However, all of the American pocket watches were meant to be wound every day. Most manufacturers suggested winding the watch every morning, as stated in this article from the Hamilton Watch Company. New pocket watches featuring the ETA/Unitas 6497 or 6498 movement run for about 46 hours on a full wind. See similar questions...

Many times you will find watches being described as "over wound". But what does that really mean? Well, what it has become to mean that the watch is wound up all the way, but will not run. Technically, you cannot over wind most wrist and pocket watches, modern or antique. They are supposed to be wound up all the way, until you cannot wind it up further with your fingertips. Most pocket watches, when properly serviced, will run for 28 to 30 hours or more on a full wind. The bottom line.. See similar questions...

As antique pocket watches are mechanical, they need to be cleaned and oiled at regular intervals. When these watches were new, most manufacturers recommended a complete cleaning and oiling about every 18 months. With today's synthetic lubricants, this interval is stretched out to about 3 years with regular use. If the watch is not used regularly, the cleaning interval can sometimes be stretched out as far as 5 years or more. See similar questions...

Throughout the course of watchmaking history, many countries developed their own size measurement systems. In our pocket watch descriptions, we use the American movement measurement system, and we also include an outside diameter measurement of the case in millimeters. See similar questions...

On early Rolex watches they stamped the Serial Number on the outside of the case back. Then, around the mid-1940s they moved the serial number to the side of the case (between the lugs) at the 6 o'clock position. It is worth mentioning that the Case Reference Number (i.e. the Model Number) is located on the opposite side of the case at the 12 o'clock position -- the bracelet now must be removed to access these numbers.

In the "old days", most if not all of the jewelry stores had an on site watchmaker in their employ. Nowadays, many jewelry stores will not take on an antique pocket watch. Most of the ones that do, outsource their watches to a hobbyist, or a professional watch maker. Pocket Watch Site specializes in American pocket watch repair. We also highly recommend Pocketwatcher for pocket watch repair and service. See similar questions...

Ring size - You can find information about measuring your finger at home in our Sizing Chart, we strongly advise you should find a local jeweler who can figure out your exact ring size, however, if you are using our Sizing Chart to measure your finger or if you are uncertain about your ring size, it would be better to take a smaller size since stretching a ring is easier then making it smaller.

Sizing for knitted supports is determined by loosely measuring the circumference at specific points on the body, depending on the product. If you are between 2 sizes, go with the larger size. The product fits correctly if it feels comfortable, doesn't bunch, pinch or constrict, or doesn't slip and seem baggy. It should fit like a second skin. See similar questions...

Some watches will not have a watch size selection such as watches with leather straps, rubber straps or fixed bracelet designs. For most rubber strap watches you will be able to size the strap yourself or have a local jeweller size it for you. Sizing the rubber strap yourself may involve cutting off sections of the strap. Once cut, the strap cannot be lengthened again, for that reason its best for you to try on the watch first to ensure that you size to the correct length. See similar questions...

Proper bracelet sizing requires special expertise and experience. It also requires the presence of the watch owner to insure a proper fit. If you are not familiar with bracelet sizing procedures, the pins could become damaged and that may lead to failure of the pin. We highly recommend you seek the assistance of an experienced technician and you should consult your local jeweler or watch maker. See similar questions...
