Pocket Watch Case

WWII Elgin Railroad Grade 478 B. Raymond 16S 21J Jewel Pocket Watch with a Custom Navy Case. This a very unique U. Navy presentation pocket watch. This watch had to be special as Elgin was supplying watches to government contracts for the war effort. I have not seen one before like it and probably never will. It looks like it was put away and not used much. It is in excellent original condition for the age. Just light normal wear. Silveroid and Gold Filled. It has a raised Navy Fouled Anchor on the back case cover. Covers screw on nicely. The back cover does stick sometimes at the very end of opening it and you have to give it a little lift with your finger nail. It may have a small bur on the thread. The dial has a couple faint hairlines. The close up photos and lighting gave them a blue tint but you can hardly see them with the eye. The crystal has light surface scratches. It is running strong and keeping good time. I do not know the service history so I can’t guarantee to continued accuracy. I would have this special watch serviced as a baseline. Please look look at the pictures as part of the description. I have included the specifications in the photos. I try to give accurate description of all my items for sale.
