Thanks Lindell,
Have updated the web page and forwarded a copy, unfortunately I have to send the beautiful watch back to the owner, well at least I got to enjoy it for a while and onto the next one. That’s the fun thing you never know what coming in next.

PS crown in photo shown in up postion, I forgot to set down for photos.

I wonder how many of those watches were actually sold at that price?

$500 of 1912 dollars would be worth: $11,904.76 in 2012

I have been lucky enough to see two of these in person. When I lived in Michigan a friend down the street was a watch collector and had two of these, and at the time told me that one was different than the other but either one was a beautiful watch, they are even more awesome in person.

With solid gold plates & case, it must be a HEAVY watch.

Not too heavy. I just weighed mine: 67.2 grams.

Stunning!
