Well, I don't know. Could you show me something in a white gold please? Smile One of a kind in this unused condition and you're a lucky dog. Razz

Very nice indeed. Hope the rest of the case is as good as pictured. Listing must have hid among all the wrist watches he has up for auction..... Big Grin

Now - what you going to do with it.

I have a WGF Jboss fancy case - unused, no screw marks, no wear. Can't bring myself to put a movement in it.

Are you backing into case collecting as I have, or do you have a movement in mind.

Beautiful case.

I hope you have an "unused" movement to put in it so you don't get accused of "switching" Wink

Veryyyyyy Nice.........

Spectacular Lindell! And I'll bet it's even prettier in person! Do you have a movement in mind for this beauty?

Thanks everyone,

Wouldn't it be great if we could just order something like this!

It sure looks great in the pictures and I anticipate it will be take-your-breath-away-gorgeous in hand. Finding the appropriate movement may not be easy, like Charlie and John said it will have to be every bit as unusual and also in "as new" condition like this case is. Consider what you would put in a case like this one.

Anyone have a suitable candidate?

Lindell, How about a like new South Bend 294 with a fancy dial? Wish I had one to offer you, but sadly, I don't.

Lindell,
very nice buy. I had a similar problem a few years ago, but solved it by installing a very nice Hamilton 961. I think this type of movement would make a good fit for your case also. Wink

Lin and Jerry!

Congrats to you both on your spectacular finds. I don't know which is more improbable, Lin finding that eye-popping case in NOS condition, or Jerry finding a catalog with a picture of that exact case! Both accomplishments are home runs out of the park in my book! Cool


Best Regards,

Ed

I'd like to take a moment to commend Jerry Treiman for his remarkable resourcefulness as well as his never-ending help in sharing his vast knowledge concerning pocket watches!

Jerry, thanks for your help from all of us here a Chapter 185!
