The watch is a splendid timekeeper, and would cost in Auckland at least ten guineas. My son could have sold the watch a score of times, for double the price that it cost him, but would not part with it on any account. I may also say that I know several here who have, sent for your watches, and they have given the greatast s .tisfaction.
