    An old watch with a H-D decal applied to the face is a common rip off at swap meets. Same with Chevrolet, Ford, ETC.

      This one is different than the normal H-d logo watches. It is a steel face, not porcelain, and is etched with the name of the owner, W. E. Montgomery. Whether it was a presentation piece or made for the owner by his own design is unknown. The chain and pocketknife were on it when I got it about 20 years ago. One thing that is known about logo watches is that H-d never had anything to do with them. They were created by watchmakers as novelty items. they also used Indian logos, all automobile companies, firearms, etc. They are almost always on lower priced watches and are far more common than thought. the second pic shows a few in the upper right.

          My little experience with pocket watches involves only my family stuff. Unless they are a very special one, they are usually worth about what it costs to fix them. The faces are the hardest part to do right. Mike
