A Great watch to carry everyday. Its a 7 jewel movement, 18SZ Runs good. It was just serviced, cleaned and oiled, keeps good time. The #s on the movement are, 20103568, made in 1917. This is a big watch, it measures from side to side 61.25 mm. The dial is a big number railroad dial. With a couple of light hairlines, you can see in the pictures. The glass is ok has a few light scratches.. Winds and sets smooth. The case looks good, has a few small dents and dings, which is normal for its age. Its a stem set and stem wind. These Big watches are getting harder and harder to find, get them while you can.
I took pictures before cleaning the crystal so I retook the first two which show the watch with the crystal cleaned up. The smudges on the watch in the later pics show before I cleaned it. This watch needs a little TLC. It runs when tapped but stops after a few seconds. The serial number on case, twice, is 114522. The case needs to be cleaned but the crystal and dial are quite nice. I do see something on the dial which may be able to be cleaned off but I can’t get the front off to try. The case measures 2 in diameter and the watch has a very hefty weight to it.
LARGE HIGHLY FANCY 14K GOLD HUNTER CASE ELGIN POCKET WATCH DOUBLE ROLLER. I took this to a jeweler before listing who thought the timing might be off in this watch – he was not sure – wanted to disclose this information – thanks. 118183 are the serial numbers engraved inside front cover – this is very hard to read and hard to photograph.
