Just pick this one up last week.
looks perfect to me no chips or hairlines on dial
movement nice and clean just needs new mainspring.
watch is in swing out keystone case.

movement.

She is a looker... Sharp dial and nice demaskeening

The FT grade 252 was a super watch and on this one everything looks correct. All the lettering and engraving is intact and no battle wounds that I can see so you picked up a nice one, excellent add to the collection.

Nice find Peter, gorgeous movement.

A lot of people overlook these full plate Elgins once they get past the 149/150 but there were some very nice 21j versions open face versions between the 150 and 349. After a COA and new mainspring I am sure this one will be a great runner, that dial is correct and hard to come by in good condition.

They're great carry watches too, so don't do all the work, smile, then put it away in your collection. Use it! It will serve you well!

Regards! Mark
