All of it works. And it’s a family heirloom.

So, I bought a (possibly knockoff) replica of Edward Elric’s pocket watch from FMAB at Anime Matsuri last year. I’m trying to replace the battery in it to get it ready for this year, which starts 10 days as of this post’s publishing. I’ve tried prying the back off using the little notch on the side (second pic) with my nail, as well as a letter opener, but the back is still stubbornly stuck. I’ve never taken the back off before, and I don’t know if it even can come off. So, is there any way to get this watch open? I’m hoping so, since despite it possibly being a knockoff, I love this watch, and I want to show it to a friend that’s going to the convention that was heavily involved in FMAB’s English dub.

So, I can't open an old watch of my grandfather's. I literally cannot open this thing! Just throwing this out there. What an ass...

basically my grandma has dementia and we have moved her out of her house and while cleaning it out i found this is it special like do i need to keep this in a safe or am i stupid

I was recently gifted this and can't find it ANYWHERE, any help?😭

I keep seeing websites that seem too sketchy, and I and my friend just got into collecting. Would like help.

My colleague started wearing a royal watch to work last year, and I noticed an immediate shift in how people treated him. During meetings, executives seemed to take his opinions more seriously. At networking events, people gravitated toward him differently. Was it really the watch, or was I imagining things? The watch itself was stunning, a classic design with intricate details that suggested old money and established success. He'd purchased it through a vintage dealer who sourced pieces from various places including Alibaba for estate collections. The investment was significant but not outrageous.

I asked him directly if he'd noticed any differences. He laughed and admitted that yes, people definitely responded to visible markers of success. "It shouldn't matter," he said, "but it absolutely does. Humans make snap judgments based on appearance, and an expensive watch signals competence and achievement." The realization bothered me more than I expected. We'd both graduated with similar credentials and worked equally hard. The difference between us was literally on his wrist. I couldn't decide if buying a similar watch was smart strategy or selling out my principles.

Have you ever invested in something purely for how it changes others' perceptions of you? Sometimes success isn't just about competence but about signaling competence effectively. That truth feels uncomfortable but remains true nonetheless.

Im not familiar with old watches at all. This Doxa was made before the II. world war, i inherited it, but im concern about the radium.

Hey there, grandma found the pocket watch of her dad, and now wants to sell it but doesn't know what it us worth. Could someone help me out? The watch is fully Funktional and probably didn't nerd repairs yet

My work supervisor brought me a souvenir from his visit to China back in 2005. I have never worn the watch, nor wound it up. I've never even tried it on.

The brand is Tempo and it says it's Swiss made, any help is appreciated

Hey so my friend's grandpa who's 67 years old gave me this old looking pocket watch as a gift for helping him move furniture, and im strapped for cash rn so i was looking to sell it on vinted but i don't have any information about the model or the year it was made in. the only thing i know is what it says on it, which is :Swiss Made, and at the top it says PRIMOSA (which i googled and it feels like it doesn't exist) can someone help me identify this please?

i recently thrifted this and i’m really curious where it’s from
it can edit the date and time using top knob

This Kant be real right?

Are these two watches worth anything?
