Unless you sewed your finger to the strap, it looks really good to me.

Damn clean movement, good catch!

Thanks! I plan to keep all the pocket watch parts and leave the movt intact.
It looks really good as a complete pocket watch as well.

I feel the same but then as said if I keep all the parts and do not modify the movt it wont feel that bad
