Here are some pictures of my latest two watches, Elgin grade 412 and a Hampden North American Railway. Both are 21j 18s watches and both are in swing out cases.

Looks like you did alright, Claude.That North Am. Railway looks great.For some reason, all the pics won't move over on my computer.All I can seen is the Hampden mov't. and the front of the Elgin.

The Elgin had a cruddy looking dial so I soaked it and had to do some additional chip repairs around the 7. Now it is missing on hash mark and the "35" red marker but in all it looks ok. These 3/4 plate Elgin dials are hard to find. The grade 412 is a low production movement and a bit unusual looking in regards to the dmk effect (straight line) which you typically see on the later 16s BWR movements.
