I started collecting pocket watches about a year ago. Honestly, I know nothing about pocket watches. They remind me of my grandfather and I think they make great conversational pieces. The thing that is driving me nuts though is that I cannot get this thing opened! Does anyone know how to open this beautiful piece of History? ;)
Looks like the back unscrews this like will help you.

Thanks much Guys!!! You can set the time by the stem. I still cant get it opened though.
The back of the Watch reads:
BUREAU OF SHIPS
U.S NAVY
COMPARING WATCH
N 5710- 1941
I got it apart! Thank you so much for the reference! I took some more pictures so you could see better. Here ya go! Thanks a million!
