Keystoke"Victory"10kt.gf case with locomotive on back.I know the case is not the original as the watch is c.1917 and I think the locomotive is c.1950's.Oh,well I have a nice case for it anyways.

Hi Roger, I think that is a very nice watch, It's got the things I try look for- railroad grade movement, great dial, and I like the case and the BLE fob. Nice. Thanks for sharing. By the way was it an ebay find?

No I didn't get it on e-bay but at a auction house in Dallas.Kinda like buying a pig in a poke.They only gave desription and picture of front of watch but not the back.Didn'y know it had locomotive on it until I received it.It is very clean and keeping computer time for the past 5 days.I was wondering if the dial is correct for this movt.I am pretty sure the hands are.
