Pocket Watch

[Bunk]

I found this last fall. The movement is a Elgin- 1890 but no idea when the case was made. It took a couple hundred to get it working and the diamonds are real.
Would like to find out what it is worth. I had a friend that is in the know tell me about 2 grand and the old man that worked on it 3-4 grand. I looked around on the net and saw some interesting prices!! Thanks for any help.

Wow,such a beauty.....how about details about where you found it...detecting or rummaging around.And,such an interesting case...wonder about the cow,too.
Will keep watching.

It was found with an Xterra-70 at what I think was a labor camp for a railroad in Arizona. It was just blind luck as I am still trying to learn the machine. It was in a jar about 8-10" deep, I am lucky I did not damage it as I broke the jar with my pick while I was digging it.

If you are bold enough to take the back off and read the serial number, I can give you an approximate age and value.
Or take it to a watchmaker and he should be able to tell you.
Very nice find!

I'd keep it. worth the effort to restore it to working condition. You'll NEVER find another one like it.
