  What a beautiful watch. This 1930’s Men’s Elgin has been restored from the ground up. The 17 jewel movement purrs like a kitten and keeps accurate time. It has recently had a complete service to insure consistent reliability.
  
  The two tone dial was restored back to its factory look. They have some of the original dial templates for many early American vintage watches. The dial has a soft silver color that surrounds the outside; the interior is a soft gray. It looks sublime. The watch truly looks like it did in the 1930’s I am really proud of the way this turned out. You will not be disappointed.
  
  The case looks new, obviously it is not, but for a case to survive the rigors and abuse that is so prevalent during the last 90+ plus years is remarkable. I have taken close ups of the case corner, this is where most of the plating loss occurs over the years. Each corner (Please examine the pictures carefully) has survived without ANY plating loss. Remarkable!
  
  
  This case style style is often referred as. “Tonneau or Barrell”. it is a style that was used often in the Art Deco period. Hamilton, Waltham, Bulova, Illinois often incorporated this style onto their own offerings.
  
  
  The case has beautiful engraving motifs on the bezel and the side. So "Art Deco" Look at the close up pictures. It measures the following:
  
  
  29MM Across from 9 o’clock to 3 o’clock
  
  
  30.80MM Across from 12 o’clock to 6 o’clock
  
  
  The crown is a hefty 6.4MM

  I have fitted the watch with a 15MM dark brown alligator band to keep the originality of the watch. The buckle is a stainless steel tang style. The band was handmade and is “Glove” leather. It feels very comfortable to wear. I love this watch, in fact I have worn it twice and I have received many positive comments.
  
  I will pack the watch like a china doll so it arrives safely. I am proud of this one. This is a home run. Some luck soul is going to get a slice of watch heaven with this watch. The watch will be fully insured and have tracking available.
