The Hampden on the previous post was put into the case that I had housing this 21j Illinois Model 5. I then swapped the Illinois into a Sterling Silver Multi-color purchased here last winter. Do you feel this is appropriate? Neither the Hampden, nor the Illinois came in HCs.

Anyhow, let me know if I did right or wrong in this swap. It's always difficult for me to date cases and determine appropriate configurations. I thought this was nice looking together.

If it feels good and makes you happy clap your hands... Mike I know nothing about dating cases either. I think it looks good but who am I.

Beautiful case. As both movements are "Springfield", they must be "happy as a clam" in either "case", (Pun Intended)
