Are there any sources other than these few frames taken from the movie attached to go by which pocket watch Henry Jones Sr. uses in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? I've seen Sarednab's picture (Jean Pierre Double Hunter that opens/closes), but I see no evidence from the film footage that Henry's watch has a cover. He pulls it straight out of his vest with some large strap on it and he views it in his hand (does not open/shut it at all) so I have serious doubts about that being the screen used prop. All I can make out is a gold rim, white face and what looks like roman numeral lettering to my eyes in that blur (but it's very hard to tell).
I thought it would be neat to do a display with some symmetry to it (i.e. Belle of Lincoln whiskey bottle, Henry Jones Sr. pocketwatch (that Indy would have inherited) on one side and Belloq's pocket watch followed by Eau da Vie bottle on the right (with two sets of medallions on each side and the Ark in the middle). But I'd need a pocketwatch to match. Maybe I could use something else instead of a watch to keep it with the correct movie (Raiders) theme under the poster....
Then again, maybe I could stick with the Raven Bar Shot glasses and just stick a bottle of whiskey from the bar (Johnny Walker or Jack Daniels for example) on the right side. Otherwise, I'd probably have to hunt down the tumbler glasses they used in the bar scene (and/or tent scene as he was drinking the same stuff) to go with it, really.
