I was in a Kurdish cafe the other night, and accidentally dropped my pocket watch on the floor. The proprietor picked it up for me, and commented that he had one just like it, except his had a chain.
I explained that the chain that came with mine was no good, so I had removed it.
His was plated in fine silver, and dated from 1923.
I confessed that mine was a cheap Chinese fake, from eBay.
He told me he had got his from a market stall, the person who sold it only charged £2.50!
My fake cost £5 :-(
At least I don't have to wind it up.
