i am looking for a factory produced pocket watch with some pretty particular standards;
clear face, no cover
silver body
i want to have to wind it, no battery...i might consider self winding...
smallish...maybe 1 to 2.5 inch diameter

i basically want something like the dollar watches that you could get back in the early 1900's, but new.

i am looking to keep the cost low, something between $50 and $100, but i realize that you get what you pay for.

any suggestions?

EDITED TO ADD: i am looking around online and keep seeing references to "no jewel", does this mean that it is the sort that you wind?

I think you will find that no jewel usually means its battery powered.

A self-winding pocket watch has been tried and didn't work. Your pocket doesn't move as much as your wrist....
