New purchases. Not a high end but picked it up for 70US. Will need cleaning and TLC.

Was that a great, good or bad deal?

Hi JD,

It looks great! I believe there is a database where you can look it up and tells you everything about it with that number on the movement...not sure though. Just like the Hamilton's. I don't know about the price but I've seen them sold for much more on ebay. Price is not important considering that's one fast food restaurant price for a small family and it is much healthier!

Cheers,

Bob

0 size, 7 jewel, grade 1, stem wind, pendant setting,  made around 1910, ~11,220 total made, if the case is in good shape, as it looks, it should clean up nice, good find, but not great find, like that SBWco 'logo' on bridge, noted different style/material balance screws and does not have huge case screw marks from re-casing, so probably original case, clean dial, no hairlines present. Someone may have stuck pin hanger on to wear, then later a chain on swivel. This watch was not made to hang on pin, otherwise the 12 would be at hinge side, (so you could read it whilst wearing)

I would be remiss if I did not disclose source, I use regularly for Hampdens.

Thanks for all the good information. I think it was a good buy.
