Elgin grade 349 first run pick up and some of it variant brothers "Click" to Login or Register 
posted
I will first post a first run grade 349 that I picked up recently and you should be able to notice the basic differences. This should have been a run of 500 then the runs fell into the typical 1000 type runs. The dial is a psuedo double sunk replacement type dial that I put on while I find the correct type for it. It was in a crapped out case and I found this one to put it in, even though it low year case it looks extremely nice and has not seen much use.

Claude,
Thanks for the pics of the 21 jewel Elgins. I will be looking for some of the Elgins to add to my collection. Again thanks for the pics and info.

Tony there are times that people post pictures of brands/grades that normally I would not look for but after seeing the pictures I do start to look for them.

So that is why I like it when people post pictures and the reason I post them. There are some interesting Father Time variations, some that are very low production but beautiful watches.

I need to take some pictures of my other Father Time grades and post them.
