Title: Extra Nice Hamilton 992 Elinvar RR Pocket Watch
Description: EXCELLENT condition. Very nice watch with a fantastic bar over crown (signed Hamilton Railroad) scarce Model #8 RR case, mint double sunk porcelain dial which has bold Arabic numerals and a near perfect 21 jewel Elinvar movement. Although the case shows no wear through to brass the screw back does have a couple of tiny dings, not seen in the photos. A new acrylic crystal is installed. The 992 was the first widely recognized RR watch with the 992B following in the middle part of the 20th century. It has some nice features like solid gold jewel settings held in place with screws, a solid gold center wheel which has a raised cupped jewel setting (also gold), gold screw balance wheel, gold script, double roller, Elinvar hairspring and a swan's neck fine regulation system. A spot is on the mainspring wheel and some faint burr marks on screw heads. Three service marks in the back. Some market research shows several on-line sources with this model selling for much more, up to $1000. And, if you are not aware of it the separate components sell for much more when parted. Just the mint dial and excellent case alone would easily bring this on ebay. Measures 50 mm wide. {575} Item #5181
