I still got that IWC pocket watch conversion I would enjoy seeing you take apart. Let me know if you have interest. Anyone got an idea what it is worth? I see a couple on ebay for $2 or $3k maybe they are shooting high, but I like mine better but have not worn it in at least 5 years. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/4/1/41191cc306b618f453a47a45de7b5c4a57a79f43.jpeg) > [@FS: IWC pocket watch conversion](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fs-iwc-pocket-watch-conversion/227316/2): > > PMs replied to.
