Hamilton 950B 23 Jewel " Railway Special " Pocket Watch - Modell 11 Case - Fine
Item History & Price
Wonderful Hamilton 950B lever set 23 jewel 16 size pocket watch in fine condition. It is serial #S976 and was built in 1941. Very low "S" serial number. The watch has been recently professionally serviced and is running strong and keeping great time. The movement is bright and shows minimal wear. The case is a Hamilton model 11 in stamped "10k yellow gold filled" inside. Overall, the case is in very good condition with no brass to be seen. The case back is nice and straight with no den...ts, rippling or deep scratches. The bezel and back screw on nicely. The bow is in good shape, swings freely but is not sloppy. Does not appear brassy. There are a couple of small dings on the case body at the bottom. Not bad but please look at the pictures. The crown is crisp. The original porcelain dial is a very nice and hard to find "23 Jewels- Railway Special". It's has a nice high gloss finish and looks great. Upon close inspection, there is a very small hairline which runs from the 10 in the seconds hand sub dial to 4 in the outer chapter. It is hardly noticeable under normal observation. The domed glass crystal is new and perfect. Overall, this is a great watch in fine condition and is worthy of any collection. I just have to "thin the heard" a bit.
