nice dial and case

Ok so hoping I found the right place to post these. I picked up these 5 PW's a couple weeks ago. I am very happy with them all. What do you think?
I love this hobby. I am always finding something I like better This one is a nice Hamilton 966 in a white gold filled case. Serial number is 1156153
Others to follow.

Next up is a 21J Ball Hamilton Serial B644519

Next up is a 21J Illinois Bunn Special housed in a gorgeous White Gold Filled case. Serial number 3357644

Next is a 21J Waltham Crescent Wind Indicator in a nice case. No monogram. Serial number 20301398

And last I picked up this 21J Rockford Watch Co in a beautiful case with a steam engine on the back. Love this one. Serial number is 619190

nice watch

Check out the back of the Rockford case. My grandfather was an engineer so this one is quite special.

Very nice! Mr Wilkins you have a great selection of the iconic brands.
Great eye, your collection is complete yeh right

Happy gear meshing.

Thanks guys! I am always telling my wife "this is the last one" and she looks at me and says " Uh huh"

She knows me well

I have my eye right now set on a really nice Illinois Bunn Special 163A and if the price is right I am gonna snag it. Recently I was looking at a Rockford Wind Indicator that was uncommon but the dial was cracked in 3 places so I passed on it. Wish now I would have bought it. Oh well some come, and some go..... I ditched my coin collection for collecting pocket watches. This hobby is to me, much more fun. And I have a history with Railroad Pocket Watches so that makes it all the better.

Just in today a 2 tone Hamilton 935 SN 25895. Runs fine and this is only the second one I have seen and I have the other one and it is SN 25893.

This is one of my latest acquisition, a circa 1805 Pouzait escapement watch.

That one is a work of art Ethan

Here's a couple that should be posted in the "Show us your run of the mill" watches. I got to quit looking at stuff for sale!!

But, anyway here they are. A pair of Seikos, 7009 and a quartz 6923.

After a little crystal cement to put the minute marker back in place on the 7009 and a new battery in the 6923, got a decent pair of everyday watches, for $26.

Thank you Roger. Since I already had one with a serial number so close I had an extra incentive.

The proximity of the numbers would motivate me also! I have 2 992's one number apart and I am
constantly on the prowl for the missing one to this puzzle.

Roger

I have two 937's missing the one number in between and now have the two 2 tone 935's missing the middle number. Looking for the missing number gives us something to do. LOL
