1950 Men's Elgin Manual Wind Watch - Restored and Running

Description: 1950 Men's Elgin Manual Wind Watch This is a nice men's Elgin manual wind watch, made in the U.S.A. in 1950 (the serial number stamped into the movement indicates the year of manufacture). The 15 jewel grade 554 movement has been cleaned and oiled, and the watch is running well and keeping accurate time. The dial is in OK shape overall - there is patina throughout which has dulled the white dial into a more gray color, however, the indices are all intact - including the gold inlay baton indexes. The 10k R.G.P. (Rolled Gold Plated) case has been cleaned and polished, and shows only light surface scratches, and only a slight bit of wear to the gold on a couple of the lug tips. The acrylic crystal that came with the watch remains (I didn't have a replacement) and has been polished so it is clear. A brand new extra long brown leather strap has been installed. Overall, the watch is in very good condition and ready to wear! Please see pictures for more details, and feel free to ask any questions prior to purchase. Please keep in mind that it takes a lot of my time, money, and knowledge to get these watches in reliable, running order and to make them look the best they can. I believe I am listing each watch at a fair market value -- I take the time to do a lot of research, and frequently check the "going rate" for watches that are similar to what I am offering, and adjust according to condition. As a result, I do not accept offers. Thank you for your understanding. I do combine shipping -- all items purchased at the same time will be shipped together in one box for a flat $6.00 fee. Simply add the items you wish to purchase to your cart, and when you check out, you should see one $6.00 flat shipping charge. Send me a message if for any reason you see shipping charges greater than $6.00 so that I can send you a refund of the excess.
