Item History & Price
Serviced!! 6/11/2019
Keeps time with in about 7 seconds a day on average between all positions. This watch is very high grade!! Gold screws
Regulator whip
Jewel cups As well as gold train besides the escape wheel.
Movement is very clean has like one very small scratch by the case screw. No rust i can see. Purple hands have no rust. Glass crystal has like 2 very tiny scratches that you have... to really look for. I'm not seeing any other case screws marks, so it is possible this could be the original Gold Filled Case from 1923. The condition of the case is a Amazing!! Has a very small nick on the edge of case frame Otherwise superficial scratches Case Design on back is very strong. Tight bow.
This watch is pretty easy to find in 16 size 17 jewels as well as different 12 sizes, but kinda rare in 21 Jewel 16 size.
Even better though it has such a clean movement. This is pretty much the same movement the Santa Fe Special used.
