searching for hunter cases
Like most of us I see all these nice hunter movements missing the case , or the case is just well used . I got lucky today and found the nicest hunter case I have seen in a while , although it is marked standard it is just so crisp and clean , the bow stands as straight as a marine !The only downfall is it has a Keystone movement , but even that looks mint , and i picked it up for what the chain is worth {marked 1/20 12 k } I know Tom Dunn and others can relate to my case search !

You did good Kevin. Yes, be careful of the cheaper priced cases that look good. 95% of the time they are missing the bezel and crystal that could add as much as $50 to the case cost (IF you can find a bezel that is)

These IMO aren't worth messing with.

Kevin,
Nothing wrong with that movement...Very collectable especially with the dust cover...Very nice watch case and movement...

I like even the cheaper movements ,a lot of the finer watches started out as cheaper movements , I believe Keystone was rolled into Hamilton , so in E-Bay language this is a super ultra mega-rare pre-hamilton

That's a Great pick-up Kevin. Also the adjusted model, I have had a few of these and with a good COA they are great time keepers.
