This beautiful 3 finger Getty arrived today and I was taken by surprise. I had been looking for a model 5 Illinois to put my recently accquired private label dial on and this came up as a BIN. I could not believe how nicely this cleaned up and the dial and hands are near perfect. The Keystone Pilot case is also in nice shape and I am beginning to suspect everthing is original here. It may not be a high jeweled collectable here but the movement is pleasant to look at and it seems to be keeping good time (added bonus). So nice to find something this nice that is 105 years old. It wasn't that expensive either. Steve | ||

Steve, This getty is one of the most awesome movements of all of the Illinois watches in my opinion. Congrats. Tony | |||

As far as I'm concerned it was $65.00 that was well spent. Steve | |||

Steve, I think you are "almost" as good with the picture as Lindell. I sincerely hope my behind looks as good at 105 as does this watch. A very nice find. Regards, John | ||||
