Hi,
Perhaps someone should have got one of these for Ray when he retired as club secretary........

I'm not even sure that's worth £18.99 ! It says made in Sheffield, not convinced by that unless, there is also a Sheffield in China !

I have a couple of pocket watches I brought when living out in the US, this one I still have the box for, which has a $19.99 price ticket on (remember US ticket price is State Sales Tax exclusive).
At the time, I brought it for the pick-up design, which at least is part of the cover and not just glued on. A period look, a little like a SII Minor if you squint a bit...
This is the information inside the back plate....
I should think the ebay ones are the same. .

For those that might be wondering, since I mentioned I had two, the other one is a souvenir of the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson Arizona. A classy imitation Pewter look. A similar $19.95, again I still have the packaging... .
It doesn't have any info inside the back plate
Now I've got them out of the drawer, I might as well get a couple of new batteries for them both...
