Up for sale is a very nice 18s Illinois serviced pocket watch. The watch was serviced 7-6-21 it received new hands and an alloy mainspring as well as the clean, oil, adjust. The watch is running well and keeping good time. The bow sits firm and the crown still is in fantastic shape. Mineral crystal is from Whites and has no blemishes. Nice keystone hands on a single sunk unsigned dial with a tiny chip to the left of 12 that is not visible when the lid is closed. Both front and back lids as well as the dustcover open and snap as they should. The case is coin silver marked Dueber Coin 2097991 the text is faint but I can make it out, serial repeated on inside of dust cover along with a 3 denoting case weight in ounces. The coin edge on the case is still very strong. The watch is a hunter configuration so it’s a side winder in this open face case. It is also a keywind if you should choose to wind it that way. The movement is using a washer on one side to keep it secure. Have any questions or if you would like any additional pictures please message me and thank you for looking.
