Elgin Watch
Got out today for a while to my removed house in a CW area. Dug a few clad coins and this Elgin pocket watch. Not sure how old it is.....too bad it doesn't still work.

Pappy,
Any suggestions on opening this watch? There's no socket to pry at. There is a line around it, but I can't get anything in it to pry with. I'd love to know more about it.

Watch
It is probably a screw back. Get a small piece of rubber ( such as innertube) to use for a grip and try to un-screw it..If that does not work you are going to have to pry it off some way or other. May want to put some olive oil or 3 in 1 on it overnight and try it again tomorrow.
