Rotary Skeleton Pocket Watch - MP00713/01

Xmas present for husband.But was given wrong gift box as the box was for wrist watch not pocket watch.

Stops even when I wind it.Was ok for 2 months then became very unpredictable.

Lovely looking watch very happy

Stylish and excelent. Suited for a gentleman!

Avoid at all cost. 2 weeks after purchase the chain tarnished. Rotary replaced the chain after returning back to them. Another 3 weeks in and the watch has tarnished and so has the new chain.

Just what my husband wanted

I though this gold plated mechanical skeleton pocket watch was a beautiful sight to behold and indeed it was .On several counts : it's gold plated body with crisp hinges with sharp opening and closing snap to its double half hunter case ,it's mineral glass crystal, its fascinating skeleton interior showing springs, cogs, wheels within wheels and gears in motion. It had an impressively weighty authentic feel , white annular face with roman numeral and the included lengthy gold plated chain all a testament to old style excellence .Or so I thought , I soon discovered it was gaining sixteen minutes every day . In the ordinary scheme of things this would have been a simple matter to remedy with a minor adjustment to the interior regulator by the manufacturer's local representative in Australia. The rotary website provided an email for service enquiries and the contact details of the local service agent : sadly every one of the several emails I sent to Rotary Watches Australia bounced , the Australian Service agent stated when contacted that they no longer provided a guarantee service for rotary watches. The UK head office offered no concrete options professing to be unaware of the situation with the Australian service agent and misconstruing the point about the bounced emails." All that glisters is not gold , Often have you heard that told . Many a man his life hath sold But my outside to behold .Gilded tombs do worms enfold.Have you been as wise as bold ."A lengthy but so very apt quote from the Merchant of Venice.The only saving grace in this near tragedy was the sellers acceptance of a return and full refund .So for me its back to searching for a suitable pocket watch .

A nice watch that keeps time well.

Outstanding quality mechanical pocket watch for the money. Good weight, feels solid in your hand and looks the part when wearing a waistcoat. A pleasure to have a mechanical watch, hand wound harks back to a bygone age, so much more tactile and pleasing to the touch. Would highly recommend.

A very pretty watch. It is a manual winding watch, not a quartz watch as advertised.

a much loved gift

Beautiful. Fiancé really pleased will wear it on our wedding day in November

it was very nice and lovely gift but went wrong quickly, there was no hesitation to repair so all is well

I bought this pocket watch for my partner's 50th Birthday present and he loves it. We looked at a few different pieces but decided on The Rotary and he wasn't disappointed. It is an attractive timepiece and made a lovely special present. The fact that it came with a very nice chain made it an even better buy.

I love this watch, to my mind it looks classy and is very beautiful. I have only had this watch twenty four hours but it has kept perfect time, the mechanism is very smooth and quiet, I would deffinitely recommend this watch. One tiny criticism is that the chain that comes with it is very cheap and let's the watch down a bit, but the quality of the watch more than makes up for the nasty chain.

Christmas present so cannot say much yet.

My wife bought me this watch after having a good look at many others and after reading the reviews. It arrived loose in its packaging - the box was not even properly closed and did not seem designed for the shape of the watch. It then at first failed to go for a day after being fully wound, and a couple of days later was found to have lost several hours - yes, hours - while still going. We had no option but to return it and obtain a refund. Given the mechanical faults, and in particular the shoddy packaging, we have now looked for an alternative elsewhere.

Excellent pocket watch as you would expect from Rotary, quick delivery from supplier.

Excellent Timepiece from Rotary of Switzerland, have seen an identical Hunter Watch on the High street advertised for sale at £50 more than at Amazon. Top Quality product from Rotary provided from a Top Quality Company Amazon. Thanks once again, to all staff concerned with the speedy dispatch and safe delivery of my new Watch.

good

dissapointed.

Not happy with this watch.Only had it four days. It lost time, 20 mins over 6 hours, always required winding and when the button was pressed to open the front the back opened first. Very annoying

Worn across the waist of your waistcoat, this watch looks beautiful. Intricate mechanisms exposed and a classic style, this watch is truly a fantastic modern remake of watches made 100+ years ago. I bought one in gold and was sent the silver by mistake. This meant I could compare the two and the gold one is by far the better option. It's a watch you have to wind up, which should mean it'll last forever and it comes with a lifetime of servicing from Rotary. I would recommend this watch to any gent or chap. It's a great addition to the chap's three-piece.

Purchased as a Christmas present for myself. In less than one day the gold plate on both the front and back faces of the watch has started to discolour and turn black after being worn in my vest pocket. Would award zero stars if that was an option.

I was so pleased with this pocket watch, my husband will love it. Postage was very fast. I would highly recommend.

Très jolie, très élégante ; la plus belle de toute la collection détenue à ce jour selon, mon époux. Beau mécanisme, raffiné. Fonctionne très bien.

I couldn't stop looking at it. Bought as a present for my son's 30th. It has the softest tick not loud at all. Beautifully made with fine attention to detail. All the mechanics smooth and elegant. Beading to the outer case adds interest and is a nice touch when it could have been left plain. Affordable in gold plate and simply exquisite. Highly recommended and great value for money.

Very pleased with the watch but not so happy with the chain, chain supplied is for use on a belt I require one for use with a waist coat so have had to purchase another chain.

Beautiful watch, this was a gift for my son on obtaining his Wings in the RAF, and I could not be more pleased with it. The service and packaging was very good I would recommend to all.

I purchased this watch as a gift for my Husband, from the watch warehouse through Amazon. The service was excellent, and the watch was better than i ever imagined. The photograph of this pocket watch does not do it justice. Set in a lovely case, it has a large clear dial. On the back you can see the mechanism,It keeps excellent time and looks the buisness. My husband loved the watch and will treasure it. Excellent purchase and a beautiful gift. Definetly reccomended.

This watch makes an excellent gift, it's sightly smaller than I expected at 25mm diameter but looks great and comes with the fob chain as well.
