This watch winds and runs very fast!
As it is over 100 years old it should be serviced as all watches should.
Swiss: Four Register,
Moon Phase~ 1910-1920,
crown wind,
gunmetal Pocket Watch.
This watch winds properly but runs way too fast, needs adjustment..
This watch has been in my collection for 9 years. It was my father's before me.
Dad probably had this watch in his position for over 30 years.
He was a collector and watch maker. I am a researched collector.
**When I wound this watch 10 minutes ago, it ran immidiately, however the moon-phase sub-dial ran very fast like a bat-outta-hell ran around the dial very fast so it will need adjustment.
The bow-crown-winding stem is still very stiff, tells that this watch was not a daily use watch.
The case back
is also stiff still very tight and opens at precisely 90°.
I don't think this watch was used very much.
It has a beautiful thick glass original crystal.
The dial is very clean no noticeable cracks or chips or hairlines.
It will needs servicing to put it right.
Packaging and shipping:
I pack securely wrapped in bubble-wrap, followed by encasing in strong watch lidded can, surrounded by bubble wrap. Shipped priority within 2 business days.
DIAL: very clean, no hairlines, no chips
CASE: case back is still stiff, no play, no loosy-goosy slop, opens precicely to 90°.
