What better time than 2004 Christmas holidays to show your Buck - watchcase that is! She's no Rudy since she has no red nose but still may entice holiday spirit in the world of antique pocket watches!

Here's a look!

Here's one of our backyard pets, will this do.

Here's one that won't run anymore. can it be fixed?

Hi Dave,
Great pic! How far away were you from your subject?

Larry F.

Ok guys, I know you are holding out on me. Let's see those beautiful pocket watches encased in those gorgeous buck watch cases!

Stephanie & Jim,
I took that picture about 2 months ago, I'd estimate I was about five feet away from him. We have a bunch of bucks just like the one shown that we regularly feed, quite often by hand. Right now they're all a bit skittish since it's in the middle of rutting & hunting season.

Hi Dave,
That's awesome! Can't blame them for being skiddish at this time. Deer season, how could anyone harm them.

Take a look at this one, unfortunately not mine.

Niello case
circa early 1800's

Stephanie, WOW! What beautiful cases!
And what a Great idea! Nothing like a bunch of Holiday Spirit to pick everybody up!

I don't have any "Bucks" to share, but I got a lota Spirit for the Holidays!

HAPPY HOLIDAY EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!

Sing Along.....

We wish you a merry Christmas, We wish you a merry Christmas, We wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Can you hear it? ahh come on, imagine your 5 again and sing!!!!!!

Toss those cases out there while your at it too!
I would love to see them.

THANKS SHEILA!
That's the spirit! You don't have to be 5 again to sing! If only we had audio, we would know whether or not you can carry a tune.

BACK TO THE BUCKS

For anyone interested in learning more regarding the Niello shown above, take a look!

Movement

Who's got the Bucks?

Larry Fure, the guy in your picture looks awfully familiar. Who is he?

This one holds my Omega 23 jewel DDR grade movement.

Larry, you seems to have about the same humor as I have And yes, who is the guy?
/Bernhard

Er ist mein Vater.

That picture was taken in the 1950's. Dad is 75 now and still likes to go hunting.

Bernhard,
Very nice "buck" watch case. 16S? May we see his face and his innards? Thanks for participating!

Larry Fure,
Well Bernhard, seems we have our question answered. He still looks awfully familiar.
Thanks Larry Fure

Others who may want to participate? Show your BUCK!

A picture "harvested" from an eBay auction.

Had I known this Waltham was going to be in Stephanie's Revue I would have taken a better picture.

Joe

Steph, the watch is shown under Timekeepers gallery, omega DDR

Joseph,
I really wanted to see your watch so I lightened it up some.

Here ya go.

Hi Phil,
Thanks for your participation. That's one fine watch!

Joseph T. Collins/Sheila Gilbert / teamwork
Thanks!

Hi David J.
What a beautiful case. The detail in the engraving is remarkable. May I ask what's inside? Anyone care to guess before David responds?

Others with Bucks? Big ones, little ones?

David Johnson,
May we ascertain which manufacture, size, etc. etc. on your beautiful case shown above?

The Buck is alive and well with this one!

Hi Steph,

As with a lot of solid gold hunters, there is nothing fancy under the hood of mine. A clean, 18 size, 15J, Grade 80, Signed "H.H. Taylor" Elgin. Nice, heavy 14K case though.

A little late but here it is mine. This is the Rockford I got from mi amigo Lindell. It is really a nice case and waiting for restoration (number 5 in the line, unfortunately "too many watches, to little time" as Andy Krietzer says, ok he is in clocks but anyways)

Phil

Hi David J.,
Very nice watch. Great pictures, thanks for participating!

Carlos,
Is your case silver or gold? Thanks for participating!

Stephanie,
My new old antique watch case is silver, here is a picture of the entire case, it is a nice combination with the Rockford movement.. very nice..
