Title: Nice WGF Illinois Blackstone Description: VERYGOOD condition. Very attractive although small watch circa 1930 or so. White gold filled case has three pieces. A snap on back, middle body and a snap on bezel where the crystal resides. It is in nice condition and the back fits well but it also has a small ding in it. The crystal is glass. The dial looks like a nice refinish to me. A couple of special features that I noticed about this model is the hand engraved sides of the middle body and the fancy and correct 17j Illinois movement. A tad bit more finish and you might wonder if IWC or Patek made it with the Swiss style open finger bridges. It has raised cupped jewel settings which are held in place with screws, a solid gold train (wheels), a capped balance staff and a diamond capped escape wheel pinion. Measures 28 mm wide (not including the crown) x 34 mm long x 8 mm thick. {$375} Item #5364 SOLD
