Today I have for sale an extremely nice example of the Bunn Special model 163 with in exceptionally nice condition. The dial is the highly desirable marked version which is in absolutely perfect condition. Usually these dials have hairlines or chips but this one is absolutely flawless. The case is a model 173 and it is also in spectacular condition. There is almost no noticeable wear at all and no dents. The beautiful engraving on the back is still nice and crisp. The only thing you can notice on the case is slight wearing of the gold filling around the crown which is very minor. The movement is beautiful and super clean. It is running well and keeping time. This is one of the nicest examples I have ever seen of one of the best railroad watches from the time period. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Presented is a nice example of the Hamilton Railroad grade 992B in its original scarce Model 3 tu tone case, with its original single sunk dial and great running high grade movement. The lever set open face movement is a 16′s with 21 jewels, featuring nice bright nickle straight lined damaskeened plates with black lettering, Elinvar Balance with great motion, and gold jewel settings. It was cleaned just a couple of weeks ago and runs great. It is marked Hamilton Watch Co. USA 992B 21 Jewels Adj. And 6 Positions and bears the serial number C225922. Virtually no rust except for the main winding wheel and a touch on the regulator spring, and that’s it. The very scarce Model 3 case (I always thought it was a Model 2 that was offered in a tu tone) is cosmetically in very nice condition with no dents or dings and the only things I can pick at is a small amount of light wearthru on the body and a touch on the bow. The bezels screw off just fine but can be a tad tricky at times (though once you get the hang of it, with a light touch and starting it straight they work fine). It is marked on the bottom body “W 10K Gold Filled” and on the inside “Wadsworth Base Metal”. The original Boxcar single sunk enamel dial is in nice condition with no issues that I can find and is signed “Hamilton” in block. Very nice original black steel hands. Nice original beveled edge glass crystal. Scarce tu tone case 992B. The item “VERY SCARCE 1947 VINTAGE MODEL 3 TU TONE CASE 21J HAMILTON 992B RAILROAD” is in sale since Tuesday, August 02, 2016.
