Note: Actually this movement/watch was turned into an
Elgin Drive's Watch with the 12 and the crown
pointing toward the fingers of the right hand and
the 6 toward the elbow. The white dial is 29mm
across with Arabic numerals. There is minimal
writing on the movement. Just Elgin and the
movement number. It cleaned up really nicely with
an amplitude of 240 degrees. It uses a 19mm
leather strap with the lugs at the 3 and 9
positions on the dial. It is pendent wind and set
and most probably 7 jewels.dd The sub second hand
is at the 6 o'clock position.
