Note: I just purchased this watch on ebay...it does not
have a 2-tone movement finish. All else in your
database appears accurate. Illinois watch, serial
#1664842.

Curator Response: Thanks for the report. It is common for the "Gold Inlaid Circle" pattern to become faded over time. Does your Bunn Special feature a different pattern? Uploading an image of the movement to your collection would be beneficial. Thanks!
