This watch was taken down cleaned and oiled and is ready for years of good service. It is in a Beautiful Gold Filled case with no dents or bigger scratches, no brassing There are two small initials engraved on the center back bottom, hands are a very nice blue. This is a very unusual watch in that besides being a sidewinder it is built for a left handed person. The stem comes out at the 9 O\'clock position instead of the top or right side. The crystal is yellowed and some collectors want that like a patina so it has not been replaced but you can see in the photos the face is much brighter when it removed. The numbers are a gold or gild shiny finish as are the minute markers on the outside of the dial.Also look at the specifications and you will see this is also a low production number both in made that year and total production.NOTE: This Pocket Watch has a reserve price of $ 60.00

The watch will make a very nice carry watch, or a very nice addition to a collection.
