Pocket Watch Case

This recent find comes from Estate of Retired Military Officer and Pocket Watch Collector. Pocket watch best I can figure dates to the late 1700′s and was a product of John Priest J. PRIEST who was a workman for George Graham and Thomas Colley a Simon Barkley was also brought in as a partner until his death in the 1750′s at this point John Priest took Barkley’s place next to Colley (Information from the 18th century vergefusee site). Timepiece is a Counter-Clockwise wind and has the Baluster Pillars with what I believe is a Gilt Brass Full-Plate. Movement is signed J. Priest with Birstwith No. 204 in Cursive under name. Both cases seem to match and look to be sterling, They also show some expected use/age wear (See picture #11 and #12). Outer case has 3 round service cards from what looks to be dates from 1811/1840s and 1870s (Also 2 quote card’s). Previous owner had watch serviced around 2016 and it Runs Good – (I have put Watch through 3 full winds and it tends to run +/- 1 to 3 minutes) it tends to start out slow but catches up between the 12 hour and 24 hour mark?
