Title: Sweet 1913 Porcelain Dial Wire Lug Waltham Serviced

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Sterling silver hinged case has a dark patina which is what we like, I do anyway. Original large gold (probably brass) easily gripped crown is somewhat rare. New acrylic crystal installed by Wayne. New old stock hands (originals would have been very similar), very rare wire lug strap and strap attachments are probably from a few years later but very old and made for this specific type of watch. The strap is leather and one portion/layer of it is cracked through so it is not useable but I am including it for historical reasons. We can find a new one to put on the attachments but any will have to have a narrow lug width. My gal collectors enjoy this type of watch. The porcelain dial looks perfect but with a loupe I can see two faint hairline cracks. The Waltham movement has been fully serviced, oiled and timed by Wayne and comes with a one year service warranty. It has a beautiful damaskeened nickel finish although the model 1907/grade 361only carries 7 jewels. PS. If you think 7 jewels is is a low grade movement, perhaps you are right but how low grade could it be to have lasted almost 100 years? I've made the point before. 7 jewels is the minimum but the un-jeweled bushings are on the slowest moving wheels of the train. If oiled properly they don't wear quickly at all. This piece wasn't just used a little and set aside either. It has case wear on the snap on back in the form of old one piece strap striations (one piece straps were inexpensive and much more common way back then, even up through mid-century than you might expect), some little dimples and dings and light wrist wear. Measures 31 mm wide (not including the crown) x 37 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$295} Item #6039 SOLD
