Case Details 1-24-15, I just received this watch. A very nice fellow collector sold this and another identical movement for parts. Cost $59.00 Delivered. He did me a real solid on this one. Thank you Michael. If i can ever return the favor just ask. I will give this watch a complete service. I will have think about the new case. Possibly a Silver case with a gold crown would accent the gold leaf this model watch has on the movement plates.

Three finger Elgins are a personel favorite of mine. This is a GM Wheeler which are Gold leafed. as opposed to the regular black paint version. And the larg and small winding wheels come demaskeened.
Dial Material Enamel
Dial Type Triplesunk
Dial Style Arabic
Dial Signing Name Elgin
Dial Details Very nice condition. Small hair line at the 11, 19, 36 minute mark. I will clean and recheck. Hands are a beautiful blue coloring. Crown, neck, bow are worn. Chrystal is nice. I will probably prepair a nice case after the servicing. Possibly a silver with a gold grown to accent the gold leafing on the plates.
Movement Markings From a technical aspect I would say this movement was professionally service. I see little to no screw driver marks. Very unmolested. What a buy. Thank you Michael.
