Hi, this is Elgin about 1896, grade 166, the name is RUN 7 but im not sure. Anyone have other information about this watch? Thank you.

Fabrizio, if you were in Monte Carlo, you would be a rich man indeed! You have a very rare Grade 166 RR watch. A total of 4011 were made and yours was in the #3 Production of 6565001 - 6566000. When I first saw your picture post of the movment with the beautiful engraving and lettering, I smacked my lips and said Ciao Bella!

Hi David, the p.watch is not my p.watch is of my friend.
I read on elgin serial serchengine this:
grade total runs first yr last yr class size code jewels Adj/name
166 4011 7 1895 1896 7 18s ofn5p 17j Adj

What is this code ofn5p ?
Thank you!
Ciao Bello! Ciao Bella is for woman, im man ehehe

Fabrizio, I have left my heart in Italy more than a few times! But this time I was referring to the watch. The "ofn5p" is Open Face (of), Nickel (n), Adjusted to 5 Positions (5P).

Actually, ofn5p goes like this

o Open Face
f Full plate
n nickel damaskeening
5 model 5
p Pendant set

It is adjusted, but there is no indication of how many positions.

Take a look here and you can see the codes.

Thank you Sheila. I was "guessing" in between other stuff.

Thank you Sheila and David

I had a friend tip me off to a BIN on ebay for $79 for a grade 166 but even one better it was a BWR marked grade 166. The plates almost look frosted
