Very Nice Samie!! The the contrast of the flowers in the damaskeening pattern against the gold-flashed background really sets off the whole design.

It's also nice the way the gold-flashed pattern continues across the main plate, the barrel bridge, and the balance bridge.

Best Regards,

Ed

Looks like numbers 12201-13000 are 937 which is the hunter version of a 936 and in 1898 when those were produced they were both accepted in RR Time Service. A similar 936 was finished for J.W. Forsinger a Chicago Jewelry Distributor and well-known Time Inspector.

Really nice find Samie!

Holy Smokes, Samie...that's a beauty!

To answer your question, in my personal opinion, it would be one of those situations where a watch maker would tell you in order to duplicate that movement, "If you have to ask a price, you already can't afford it!"

HIGH regards! Mark
