Note: My movement S/N: RR 514475 is a 21 jewel Illinois
Bunn Special, double rolled, adjusted to
temperature and position, Bristol guaranteed 25
years. Burlington Watch Company.
I'm trying to get an estimated value. The watch
runs perfectly, has no scratches on the face or
the crystal and the movement is spotless. The
screw-off bezel is required because the watch must
be set manually. The stem is only for winding.
The case is gold and has no brassing but has
normal wear for a railroad watch that was used and
carried by my grandfather and now carried, on
special occasions only, by me.

Thanks,
Dale Sanders
