"Wow! That's beautiful craftsmanship. "

"Look at that.... Cute as can be and I'll bet spoiled rotten!! :-) "

"I have an old Elgin that I got off ebay for only $48 and that's including shipping, with almost the same movement. Serial number puts it at around 1916, I think. Runs like a top. I'm always looking for a good deal on a pw on the Bay... So far I've been lucky. "

"You might take a look at Lee Valley. I know that they carry those and you can get discounts when buying multiples. "

"in other words, you are able to take something made in 1927 apart, know the inner workings of this device, possibly extending the lifetime of the pocketwatch; that is incredible (to me)."

"Thanks, this is a Elgin pocketwatch movement, grade 313, 16 size, 15 jewels, made about 1927. It's just getting a routine service."

"Interesting. Thanks."

"To change a broken balance staff in an Elgin, the hub of old one is cut off with the lathe."

"This looks cool. But, what is it?"

"Coincidentally, I'm sitting here with my grandfather's Elgin pocket watch (B.W. Raymond model) laying on the desk right in front of me, a near match for this one."

"Damn.just beautiful.
thanks for your posts Jeff."

"Really nice."
