Harold, That case is Eye-Popping! I'm wiping the slobber of my key board as I type I just gotta ask, What type of camera are you using? Light Sorce? Please explain...... Mike | ||||
Harold, It's your Nikon 995 that did the trick That is one Fine Camera! Did you use the Milk Jug on this pic? I thank You Very Much for the Info..... *Looking for Sunshine in Pittsburgh, Pa* Mike | ||||

I didn't use the milk jug for that shot, took it in the shade, the reason I purchased the 995 is because of it's ability to focus to within .8 of one inch, allowing for some extreme close-ups. Incedently, the case is by Keller & Untermeyer who specialty was multicolor gold cases. Here is a shot of the movement taken in the sun with the high-tech milk jug as a light difuser. Harold | |||
A Nikon 995 is on the top of my chrismas list!!! Very detailed pictures of a fantastic case!!! The movement isnt so shabby either!! NAWCC 157316 IHC 155 | ||||
Looks like it belonged to royalty. Or, at least, some president of a large company. It would be very interesting to know the exact date of the watch and cost of the case... Jim | ||||

Hello Jim, I have an 1889 discount supply house catalog that shows an almost duplicate watch/case combo like mine for $340.00. This watch also has engraving on dust cover.Uncle George was a very generous man to give away watch like this!! Harold | |||
Harold, A watch in 1889 costing $340 would cost $6,434.73 in 2001 dollars. That's not counting the added value in antiquity. What a beautiful watch and case! Jim | ||||
