Hello Ihc 185 members and Happy new year,,,
Tell us what you will be looking for in 2014. I will be looking for a 0 size South Bend pocketwatch in a marked South Bend case.
Tony

I wouldn't mind one or two of Tony's Auroras.

The search continues for a 25-jewel Maiden Lane in top shape.

I've got more watches than I really need.

However, I'll look at anything two tone, or 19 jewel motor barrel.

Furthermore, better both in the same watch if such an animal exists.

Wish List:
Waltham 72 model, American Watch Co. grade,in gold case.
Waltham 92 model, Pennsylvania Special, in hunting case.
BMW M5 Estate car in metallic silver.

If I win the Euro Lottery tomorrow I`ll use the "Beemer" to travel the US looking for the above.

Where O'where is Hamilton brother 947 to live w/ the rest of the family - 940, 941, 942, 943, 944, 946 (947) and 948 ??????????????????????

Nice one - Ok - Illinois - Indiana - Ohio... Be there soon

Mine is probably pretty modest compared to the big guns here but I will be looking for an Illinois 21j Getty Sangamo. Has to be correct (except case does not have to be original) with a near mint dial. Want it to have a fresh COA too…..shouldn’t be so hard to find right?

950b in a solid gold case

To Tony, I just sent you an email about a nice little South Bend 0s like you are looking for, it may be right up your alley. ....This year I hope to be able to get a nice open face 18s John Hancock for my Hampden wish list.

I'm a pretty low roller compared to most here. I will continue my search for private labels marked Guinand Brothers Ashland, Wisconsin. Happy New Year to all and special thanks to all that post and share their knowledge. I have learned many things while reading all the posts. Special thanks to Lin and Debbie and all the moderators

Would like to find a private label Pocket watch from Oxford, Pa. or Elkton, Md. in 2014..

Jon--
Easier to start with the 938 and 939, heh.

But if this is about elusive, I'll hanker after that 20-size Waltham that I dropped on the battlefield in my last life.

I would like to find a private label watch from Racine, Wi, a nice sz 18,15j Appleton(Appleton, Wis) and a nice example from the Manistee Watch Company.

Hi All,

Would love to find a Otay Watch Co at a fair price, to go with the other odd-ball watch companies I have.

How about A Ball-Hampden and a double roller balance assembly for my 21 jewel 1888 Waltham?

Hey Deacon. I think my 2014 wish came true .... You're Back. I'm really happy to see you posting again !
( much better than finding a Great Watch ... ) Jack

Same here Deacon,

I've been watching for you. Hope you're feeling much better and a great and Happy New Year!

Welcome back Deacon,I too have been having health problems.I'll be 75 years young Monday and My wish is for a nice 845 Waltham,and another year of good health for us all.Best regards and Happy 2014!!!!!!!!!!! You are all wonderful!!!!!

Welcome back Deacon. I saw the badge for your bicycle.

I'll take a Ball-New York.

Not asking much....... Illinois 161-B

Anything RR grade that I don't have which is everything other than the most common ones, i.e. Hamilton 992, 992B, Elgin BW Raymond, and Illinois Bunn Special.

Good luck Deacon, they don't come up very often. I still need the elusive HC 18 sz Hampden, have the other three variations.

happy hunting

Been looking for a nice Waltham Crescent Street or 645 hunter model, lever set, 19 jewels.

Update,
One of our members-Tom Brown has helped me acquire an O size South Bend watch in a south bend case that was on my wish list. Thanks Tom.
Will be glad when it gets to Georgia.
Tony
Ted not Tom--Sorry

Thanks Tony, hope it's as nice as it looks!...Ted.

Another item on my wish list is a Muckle watch case in excellent condition.
Tony

I'll take anything Lindell no longer wants in his collection......lalalala welcome back Mr. Jones!

Debbie,
I know and you know that Lindel's collection is as good as it gets.
Tony

Still on the hunt for an Ariston Grade 709- 23 jewel.
It might be a while.....

TJ

Well 11 days into '14 - and happy w/ this grab of a pretty Hampden wrapped up in a BIG'o Dueber 3 hinge case w/ a KNOCK out dial

That's a beautiful dial Jon.
