Guys,

Anyone familiar with any auction houses, watchmakers or dealers who specialise in converted pocket watches?? i.e older pocket watches that have been modified at some point in time (probably when pocket watches went out of fashion) and have had strap lugs added/fitted and the winder orientation switched to the 3 O'clock position.

I love larger watches - a couple of business acquaintances have purchased lovely pocket watch conversions (one a lovely steel IWC and another a Rose Gold Lange & Sohnne) most of these seem to be round the 46-48mm case size.
