Kevin Hoffmansearching 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 !

Tom DunnYou 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.

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

Kevin HoffmanI 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

Bila WirriganwaltersThat'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.
