Fine Men's Estate Vintage Antique Deco 1948 Elgin Deluxe
Dress Wristwatch – RUNNING!
We at Strickland Vintage
Watches have had the privilege of buying fine things from around the world,
often acquiring entire estates just to get one piece. There might be several
good items in a group that are outside our sphere of interest. However, they
may just be the wonderful treasures you've been seeking!
There have been many of
you out there who can’t afford an SVW piece but still want a vintage timepiece
on your wrist; there are set designers and costume coordinators on productions
who are looking for just the right piece for their character(s). The
estate-fresh pieces we list are for you.
Some run; some do not
but none have been cleaned, oiled and calibrated, so whether it is running at
the time of this writing or not, one must have the piece serviced before
wearing it as an everyday driver.
We’re pleased to offer
this 1948 Elgin Deluxe dress wristwatch in surprisingly good original
condition(!) Measuring approx. 35mm by 22mm – not counting crown, of course.
Love its original dial with gold applied Arabic numerals; Love the sensuous
curves of its yellow gold-filled case. The beating heart of this timepiece is
its original 15/0 Grade 624 movement – still ticking as the factory intended.
Fitted with a new-old-stock strap, it’s a handsome old thing.
PLEASE NOTE: This gorgeous work of
horological art by one of the world’s most accomplished watch houses runs as I
write this. However, it has not been serviced and should be cleaned, oiled and
calibrated before being worn as an everyday driver. We cannot guarantee running
condition or accuracy.
Bonne Chance!
We invite you to visit
our eBay store, where we have even more rare and original vintage straps and
bands.
