My latest buy...23 Jewel BW Raymond

Running nicely has been cleaned, oiled and adusted...Need to change the ratchet wheel when I run across a nice one...

There were 10,000 made but you don't see then very often...

Nice 23, Gary!

Looks like a nice one Gary right down to the Elgin Factory Case style that was introduced in the 1920s and proved to be a popular style they used for a number of years. You can click to check the year of your movement production and find other good Elgin Watch information here:
