About the Item

FACTORY / HOUSE: Elgin Watch Company STYLE / REFERENCE: Art Deco / Tank Style METAL / MATERIAL: 14Kt. White Gold Filled CIRCA: 1926 DIMENSIONS: Length 35mm X Width 27mm MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Manual Winding / 15 Jewels DIAL / HANDS: Original Silvered with Luminous Arabic Numerals / Blued Steel Luminous Hands ATTACHMENT / LENGTH: Original Leather, 16mm / Regular Length WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement. LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT This is one of the most mint condition watch I have ever seen. It dates from 1926, nearly 100 years old yet it has never been worn or even serviced once. The watch has never been taken apart. Indeed it does not run as the oil has dried up. I can certainly service it for you but I do not recommend it as it would no longer be in mint condition. The watch comes with its original strap of course and the original patented buckle which allows the watch to be place at any spot on the strap. There are no holes for the buckle tongue because there is no tongue. The watch comes with its original box and it still has an inventory ticket on the buckle as well. The case is deeply carved and matches up to the style of the buckle. If you like to collect mint condition watches this is a watch to consider.

FACTORY / HOUSE: Elgin Watch Company STYLE / REFERENCE: Cushion Shape METAL / MATERIAL: Steel on Chromium CIRCA / YEAR: 1929 DIMENSIONS / SIZE: Length 34mm x Width 30mm MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Manual Winding / 7 Jewels DIAL / HANDS: Silvered with Original Luminous Numerals / Blued Steel Luminous Hands ATTACHMENT / LENGTH: Alligator, 16mm / Regular Length WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement (If you want it serviced). LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT This amazing watch is still in its original box and has never even been serviced (that means it must be serviced if you want to wear it). Everything is original on this watch including the spring bars and strap. The guarantee paper is in the box but it has the wrong number on it. I suspect that is maybe why it was never sold. The correct paper likely was sold with another watch and when the jeweler realized it, it was to late and could not sell the second one. If you are collecting new old stock watches...
