Up for sale is a nice example an art deco-styled pocketwatch labelled "Solder Special" - note not "Soldier" but "Solder" - that came to me in a lot of watches from Japan.  The only other example of this model I could find online also sold from Japan, and all the others in my lot were made by Seikosha / Seiko, but this one says "Swiss Made" on the movement so I honestly can't be sure... many early Japanese watches used Swiss movements, either with credit or just by copying designs.  I'm also not positive as to when it dates - I would guess 40s, perhaps a decade earlier or later.  

Mechanically, the watch winds, sets, and runs well, but I have no idea when it was last serviced. The watch was keeping pretty good time when I observed it briefly - it lost 14 seconds over 18 hours. The caseback snaps tightly.

Cosmetically, the watch is in pretty nice shape overall, though there is wear to the seconds subdial area - please check out the photos yourself.

Happy bidding!

I'm an amateur collector of vintage Japanese watches, mostly Seiko and Citizen.  As such, I won't accept returns unless the watch arrives in different condition than as described.  Please examine all photos as they are part of my description.  This will only ship internationally via ebay's "global shipping program," which is the (expensive) quote you should automatically see in the listing if you aren't in the U.S.  In my first real attempt at using this, I received messages from folks in Spain, England, and France all telling me that it wouldn't let them bid, so I apologize if it does so for you - there's nothing I can do to correct it :(.  If you have a feedback score of less than 10, please contact me prior to bidding or I may cancel your bid.  I am happy to combine shipping costs as long as whatever I'm selling will fit safely in a flat rate small USPS box, but the Global Shipping Program won't let me do this unless you agree to cancel your auction wins and re-do the sale as a single Buy-it-Now option, so be warned of that eventuality if you are an international bidder.  I generally don't consider a buy-it-now option.  Thanks and happy bidding!
