Hello, And Thank You
For Taking The Time To Look At Our Listing!


Just As A Note, The Watch Is Running Fine, Keeping Good Time, And Should Provide Many More Years Of Excellent Service!!

Just look at the beautifully engraved case!! The girl holding the Lamb inside of the Horseshoe is just perfect! As are the Flowers so delicately engraved and surrounding the Horseshoe. What beautiful engravings! Just an overall perfect piece!!


A Perfect Dial!
No Hairlines, Chips or Cracks & look at the Great way they painted around the word "Elgin"!
Just imagine looking at this perfect, Snowy White
dial whenever you looked at your watch!!


The Hands are Lever Set between
the Numerals IIII & V.


The covers fit together so well, that any space between the covers is almost imperceptible!
All details are sharp & crisp!
There is no Brass showing anywhere on the Case! In fact, I'd bet you that unless the next owner of the watch were to absue it, that there won't be any Brass showing for 50 or more years!!!


The watch has not been abused.
Take a good look at this movement.
There is only 1 scratch!! This movement is in Pristine condition!


Just a close up view to better show you the beauty of this Movement!!


Even the Dust Cover is Immaculate! How much better can this watch get? Wait until you see the back cover!!


The inside of the Dust Cover is in perfect condition and shows you the Case's Serial number, as well as the 25 year mark for 14Kt Gold Filled from Jas. Boss.


The inside of the Back Cover is again in Immaculate condition and again shows you the Case's Serial number, as well as the 25 year mark for 14Kt Gold Filled from Jas. Boss.


The back cover of the watch is again just amazingly engraved, again inside of a Horseshoe, showing a Village, with some Mountains in the Background, some people rowing on the Lake or Inlet, and a road in front. The Horseshoe is again beautifully adorned by very delicately engraved flowers. This case all by itself is worth more than I am asking for the entire watch!!

Well, that's all that I can really say.
The Photos will tell you what you really want to know about the watch anyway!

The price for this piece is $475.00


This Pocket Watch would make a very nice gift to that special someone, even if that "special someone" is you and your own collection!!
