Title: Extra Nice WGF Illinois Beau Gest

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Really nice larger watch from the early 1930's or earlier. The three piece white gold filled case has no wear through and the snap on back like we see on many wristwatches of this age but looking with a loupe I do see some on the two lugs at 11 and 12. The nice looking Illinois 601 movement runs but is slow and probably needs service. It has 21 jewels and like most Illinois movements is very attractive with raised jewel settings which are held in place with screws. In addition the bridge plates are Swiss style and more attractive with Geneva strips (demaskeening) than many other American made movements. Perfect dial has gold leaf Arabic numerals and I think is original but it could be refinished as the quality is too good for me to tell for sure. The crystal is beveled glass which is rare in any wristwatch. We'll service and give a one year warranty for an additional $75. The strap is generic so choose one you like from our Accessories page. Measures 28 mm wide (not including the crown) x 38 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$379} Item #5506 SOLD
