Pretty!   I have a soft spot for old Elgins too.  I have a grade 339 that I carry often, and a grade 94 that I've had for decades.  Welcome to the forum, by the way.

I wish I could afford to.  Most of the antique watches I have, I bought for cheap because they did not run, so I repaired them.  But nearly all the verge & fuseé watches, even in non-running state, have been more than I could afford thus far.
