Product code: Factory ELGIN Wristwatch Vintage 1947 10ktGF case 555 17jewel movement Serviced Stunning
This is a beautiful and stunning example of a mens 40's Elgin wristwatch. It starts with a 10kt. rolled gold plate case that measures 26mm by 33mm factory, the common measurement for a wristwatch of the period. The raised and convex crystal is in perfect condition. The dial has a slight patina but exhibits no staining or thinning enamel. The movement is an Elkin 8/0 model 555 which is their deluxe 17 jewel Brequet edition. It was serviced in the last year and keeps decent time for a watch of this type and period. The straps are genuine leather in a complimentary pattern and color. This Elgin is in collectors grade and while I cannot list it as like new, it is certainly superior to a "Good" rating.
