RE: Illinois 606 Grade
Hi All,

Can anyone supply some information on the 16s 17 Jewel Grade 606 4 position Illinois serial# 2554395, does not appear in the Fat Book. The information I have is that only 1 run of 300 were made, why only so few? Does anyone happen to know what I should be paying for one of these?

Best Regards,
Bila

In the absence of a unique entry for Grade 606 in the fat book, I would go to what I did know - in this case a 16s, 17J, Model 7 movement. Ultimately, you have to decide what the watch is worth to you.

Thanks Thomas and Mike for the info, I notice that the Illinois database entry Thomas has been kind enough to show lists this as a 3 positions and the screws are oval head, this one actual has 4 positions marked on the movement and flat headed screws.
