Marked South-Bend 313 movements - how common? (Now, add yours to our Database!) "Click" to Login or Register

Hello

Another question for the South Bend folks. Looking through my 2006 watch guide, the grade 313 watch has two listings - marked and unmarked. The Marked variety commands a premium over the unmarked. According to the serial # list that is in the watch guide there are 8 Runs of 1000 each -total of 8000 313's produced. Does anyone have an educated guess as to how much less common the marked variety is? I ask because the only 313's I recall seeing have been the marked variety and both of the 313's I own are the marked version.

Thanks
Jeff

Jeff,

That's a mistake you've come across, see graph to be posted below. Lindell is working on having those listings corrected and he is also in the process of updating the entire South-Bend section.

Best regards,

Frank

Happy Holidays to all

Jeff

Since some of the earlier postings, we re-wrote the South-Bend section of "Complete Guide to Watches" including Grade 313 listings and made some corrections, be sure to do a full review of what you will find in next year's watch guide. Wink

A recent topic "18s railroad watches?" got me going on the South-Bend Grade 313 so I updated Frank's post above, turning it and therefore this entire topic into a hopefully comprehensive 313 Database for additional interest. Take a moment to read that topic all the way through. The watch shown below was "Railroad Approved" and carried by my dad on the Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad, the story of which is linked above and hopefully some of you may find it of interest.


Here is our marked 313 number 756427 from the final run...

We have serial numbers:

542014
553055
560089
560235
571210
701238

Note the attached picture, it is a first run marked 313, so not all of the first run were unmarked. Barrel Cover serial number matches.

Thanks Jared!

Please confirm which of those listed in your post above are MARKED 313 and which (IF ANY) are UNMARKED AS TO GRADE as this in important to what will help establish the record on these movements and later this year will lead to our request for watch guide revisions to page 371 of the South-Bend Grade 313 listings and also upgrade Wink most of the others.

Lindell-

All of those I listed are marked... Been waiting to find an unmarked for a couple years and have yet to find one. Hopefully one of these days!
