I still carry a pocket watch most days, just for the sake of nostalgia. I've got several so trade them out, here lately it's been a Hamilton 992 21 Jewel with a Montgomery Dial in a nickel silver case.
I think that fob has been reproduced, that might be why you've seen a few around. The one you show here is obviously the real deal, I think I've only ever seen one other that wasn't suspicious. Nice Find!
