Just got this Illinois 163a type IIP in, it was supposedly bought originally by an old watchmaker in this Star Watch Co. case. Could that be right as all were cased at the factory? Don't see any other case screw marks.
Serial # 5457768, I have added it to the 7 stars database.

Ah! I see Larry, this Illinois is from 1931.Looks as if the old watchmaker told the truth.

Just received this beauty back from Chris where he performed his magic COA, Take a gander at that perfect flying "J" dial. This is by far the nicest 163a that I have ever owned and I have had a few. Don't ever remember a nicer one anywhere.
