Cecil McGeeUnusual watch case
I have had this old Home Watch Co. movement lying around for many years,kinda waiting for the right "home". I have also had this old case lying around for some time,so I just put them together. It has very little actual value,but it is special to me because it is one of the first watches I ever repaired. Anyway the case has no maker's name,all four part have the same numbers,the crown is ridgid,and there is no stem protruding into the case,but I think it was maybe not originally a keywind case. The bezel and rear cover are gunmetal grey,and the main body and inside rear cover are gold filled or plated. I have been carrying it around for about a week now and it keeps great time. About 15-20 seconds a week slow.
