Nice watch Rick. I'm also a big fan of the slim line swing cases... they are great carry watches.

I have one on my Illinois Abe Lincoln and am also a BIG fan of swing out cases. The pendent is pretty tall, though, requiring a fairly deep watch pocket, but otherwise the best railroad pocket watch case design made, in my opinion.

Regard! Mark

Thanks fellows. The main reason I bought the watch was for the case although it has seen use, some brassing on the base of the case. Needs a good cleaning also.

Have had the watch running for about 2 weeks now and has gained about a minute. So far so good.

Rick, that case validates an all-Canadian RR grade watch that surely did service. The case adds great value to that all "period correct" combination. For some reason I swear I serviced that watch . . .

Hi David, if you did service the watch it was a heck of a job as it has traveled some distance since then.
