Ken KnightDrusus Watch Information Needed
I just acquired a Drusus 18L 13J HC SW/SS pocket watch. The movement is stamped drusus but with no serial number. The case is marked Drusus and has a "snorting bull" logo on the inside back cover.
Is this Swiss, German, or what? It is running, the face is double sunk, but the gold minute hand is not original.
Any information would be appreciated. I can't find anything in my watch books, or much on the internet.

Not much shows up on a Google search, but this was turned up:

Roland GlennI came up with this from the same site showing a hunter cased Drusus that went for 100 euro back in 2003.

Ken KnightThanks Roland,
I came across that to. It appeared to only have 13 jewels, but the case, face and hands were great. I thought it was a little pricey, but was a much better looking watch that the one I had. I appreciate your taking your time to research it. My pawn broker wanted to sell it to me for $50, It needed some work, so I turned him down.
