Rocky Rapetti Co. Wristwatch. Movement is an American Waltham made in 1891 and it of corse runs well. All other parts are new and handmade by me with an ancient watchmaking lathe and milling machine. Band is real alligator and all hand stitched. The inside of the band is a very soft cow leather. The hour, minute, and second hands are also handmade one at a time taking many hours each to shape with a tiny grinding wheel and then blued. The main body of the watch is one and a half inches in diameter and five eighths of an inch thick. Sorry, it's not waterproof, but this is a watch for going out, not deep sea fishing. When you hold this watch in your hand it is evident that it took over a hundred hours to create. Any other watch is not unique and has many twin brothers, but this watch is an only child. There is not another one like it and never will be. So if you want something that no one else in the world has, this is the watch for you. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have and thanks for looking.
