Item History & Price
I AM NOT A WATCHMAKER OR REPAIR PERSON. MY LATE FATHER DID ALL THE WORK ON ANY WATCHES I SELL. THIS IS A 100% GUARANTEED ALL ORIGINAL AUTHENTIC AMERICAN MADE RAILROAD GRADE POCKET WATCH PRODUCTION DATE IS 1904FULLY CLEANED AND SERVICED IN 2015, WATCH IS RUNNING SMOOTH AND TIME SETS PROPERLY, RUNS ABOUT 30 HOURS WHEN FULLY WOUND THIS IS A STEM WIND AND LEVER SET MECHANICAL WATCH , LEVER IS SHOWN IN THE PICTURES IN THE TIME SETTING POSITION, SMALL LEVER THAT IS PULLED... OUT WITH YOUR FINGERNAIL AND THEN YOU TURN THE CROWN AT THE TOP OF THE WATCH TO SET THE TIME. YOU WANT TO TRY AND SET THE TIME GOING CLOCKWISE, THE CROWN IS THE SAME PLACE YOU WIND IT WHEN THE LEVER IS NOT PULLED OUT.THE ORIGINAL SILVERODE CASE IS A SWING OUT DISPLAY CASE, THE FRONT SCREWS OFF AND THE MOVEMENT IS HINGED TO THE BACK OF CASE, MOVEMENT IS LIFTED UP FOR DISPLAY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT OF THE WATCH WITH THE BEZEL SCREWED OFF. (see photos).VERY IMPORTANT IS YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO DISPLAY THE MOVEMENT OR YOU MAY DAMAGE THE WATCH. I THINK YOU CAN GOOGLE " OPENING A POCKET WATCH IN A SWING OUT CASE". BE SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO DO THIS BEFORE TRYING. YOU COULD ALSO TAKE IT TO AN ANTIQUE STORE AND THEY CAN SHOW YOU HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY.THE CASE IS IN EXTREMELY NICE CONDITION THIS WATCH IS A LARGE 18 SIZE, ACTUALLY THE LARGEST REGULAR PRODUCTION AMERICAN MADE SIZE, THERE WERE LARGER SIZES THAT WERE PRODUCED FOR SPECIAL PURPOSES AND USUALLY REFERRED TO AS A CLOCK.THIS WATCH IS BIG, HEAVY AND CHUNKY. IT MEASURES 58 MM ACROSS THE FRONT NOT COUNTING THE WINDING STEM OR CROWN AT THE TOP. IT WEIGHS 156 GRAMS OR 5 1/2 OUNCESORIGINAL DOUBLE SUNK PORCELAIN DIAL HAS A VERY SMALL NICK ON THE RIGHT EDGE OF THE SUB SECONDS DIAL AT THE BOTTOM, I TRIED TO SHOW IT IN THE PHOTOS BUT IT IS SO SMALL AND REALLY YOU MIGHT NOT EVEN SEE IT EVEN IN PERSON, BUT THE FACT THAT IT IS THERE AND I DO MY BEST TO DO AN HONEST JOB WHEN DESCRIBING THE WATCHES I SELL, IT TAKES NOTHING AWAY FROM THIS ORIGINAL DIAL. MY FATHER WANTED TO KEEP THE WATCH COMPLETELY ORIGINAL SO HE DID NOT REPLACE THE DIAL SINCE IT WAS ORIGINAL TO THIS WATCHCRYSTAL IS GREAT NO SCRATCHES OR CRACKS
