Picked up this little goodie today at a local thrift shop:
It's not marked so I assume it's probably just gold plated although the chain on it is gold filled (1/20 12k GF). The inside of the front cover needs a good cleaning but I was surprised to find it seems to run pretty well (has kept accurate time for over 6 hours since I wound it up).
I do need to figure out how to take the back off, otherwise I would have included a picture of the movement. The back is not hinged and I don't see anywhere to open it with a knife so I assume it might be a screw on back but it won't seem to budge.
The best part was the price. It was marked $0.99 but today everything in the store was 40% off so it came out to 70 cents plus tax!
