The Same Watch more than 100 years later

[Anon E Mouse]

My Great Grandfather served in WW1. Before he shipped off to France while he was still in Britain he bought a new pocket watch with his pay. he scratched and penned the names of cities, towns and battles on that watch as he survived the war. There toward the end the watch was broken but he kept it and passed it down through the family. Last week I discovered that the same company in London was still making the same watch all these years later. They've switched from decimal to roman numerals but it's the same model of watch. Still being made by the same company more than a hundred years later. I wonder if the brass finish on mine will rub off as fast as his did.

And I can't seem to link the image from imgur
