Nothing special, Elgin grade 387 that was in very poor shape. The worst thing was someone had opened the case with what appeared to be a screwdriver. The movement is now in display case and turned out really nice. In my limited amount of time collecting, I have found it to be amazing what people can do to a pocket watch...

Nicely done. I do have an affinity for those Montgomery dials.........Joe......

Thanks Joe! I like those dials as well.

Well done Joey! Another Elgin lives on

Serge,
Thanks for the note. It is a lot of fun putting some new life in these old historic pieces.

Watch looks great…..Really like the case…Another one saved…

A looker for sure!!

Thanks for the kind comments. I am not a watchmaker by any means, but it is amazing how people can think a screwdriver would be the best tool to open a watch.

Those are the same folks who sell them stating ‘watch runs but you can’t set the hands’, not knowing about lever set movements.

Regards! Mark

Exactly, and those are usually the ones to bid on!!!
