This is the reverse of my pocket watch, the obverse side can be seen here; www.flickr.com/photos/119509436@N06/54560147643/in/datepo...
It is a slimline one and is just under 2.5 inches from base to the handle at the top.
I bought this pocket watch when I was promoted to the Sargeants Mess while serving. You may detect slight red hues to the gilding, this is because the RAMC Mess Dress was dark blue Surge, with Cherry Red edging and waistcoat / vest. Over the years the red surge wore away some of the surface and stained the front and back red.
Until I changed my 3 piece civilian suit recently, I used the watch regularly. I now have a 2 piece suit and therefore do not use it.
Sadly it does not work any longer as the battery has died and I haven't yet found watchmaker / jewelry store willing to try and open up the casing to replace it.
