This is the perfect size for his watch. The quality is even better in person than in the photo. The wood finish looks "high end" rather than "hobby."

The characters on this timepiece are much older than the ten year olds she claims adorn the face of this beautiful timepiece. This is a fabulous collector's item and one that no Harry Potter fan should be without. Although not a numbered edition, these will probably be at the top of many HP watch collector lists for years to come, much like the "Time Turner" pocketwatch. This model is refreshingly original, with a beautifully colored and very appropriate dial for "Goblet of Fire", and an elaborately carved Hogwarts crest on the cover. The dial scene is in keeping with the more "serious" tone of GOF, and the characters are shown as more mature and wary, a change from the playful scenes from the earlier watches and corresponding books. SII and WB should be highly commended for this and I hope they keep up the good work! Rating: 5 / 5 A previous reviewer must have forgotten her glasses when looking at this watch to write her review.

The case is pretty good for the money and my son likes the picture. <br /> <br />Now the bad. The first one we received was either broken or had a bad battery. So we returned and got another. The second ran for about a day and stopped working. Against my better judgement, I'm going to go buy a new battery cause my son really wants to keep it. If the new battery doesn't solve it, I'm going to return it for good. <br /> <br />Another issue is the weak chain loop. The clip was so tight on his pants lip that the loop pulled apart rather easily when he went to remove it. In addition, the watch alignment is not standard for a pocket watch. 3:00 should be at the thumb button allowing you to hold it one handed and pop the cover and read it with the cover open to the left. This watch has the cover at 6:00 and the thumb button at 12:00, which is awkward. <br /> <br />All in all, if it didn't ship with dead batteries (and possibly flat out broken) I'd say its not bad for the money. Combined with the other negatives, I'd say look for a different pocket watch. This is nothing more than a novelty. Shipping watches with dead batteries is really amateur.

They need very close adjustment. But the adjustment is on the handle. If I tried to grab the handle and turn the tool, the adjustment changes. Therefore, I was not able to remove the watch back case with this tool. I have been an amateur watch repairer for more than thirty years. I lost my old opener. But this one is useless. I may use the wooden box that it came with to hold my other tools. Rating: 1 / 5 The removable bits keep falling off and they are too small for the slots on the watch.
