There might be several good items in a group that are outside our sphere of interest. However, they may just be the wonderful treasures you've been seeking!There have been many of you out there who can’t afford an SVW piece but still want a vintage timepiece on your wrist; there are set designers and costume coordinators on productions who are looking for just the right piece for their character(s). The estate-fresh pieces we list are for you.Some run; some do not but none have been cleaned, oiled and calibrated, so whether it is running at the time of this writing or not, one must have the piece serviced before wearing it as an everyday driver.We’re pleased to offer this 1944 Lord Elgin dress wristwatch in surprisingly good original condition. Measuring approx. 36 mm by 22 mm – not counting crown, of course. The watch is one of those pieces that you can use on the set for your production or wear bumping around the marina – whether you’re a rag-man or a stink-potter.

Salmon dial and classic yellow gold-filled curved case with original thick glass crystal. Some wear to back of case. Sharp watch on the wrist with very good energy.

However, IT MUST BE SERVICED – that is to say, cleaned, oiled and calibrated -- before being worn as an everyday driver. Because we haven’t serviced the piece ourselves, we cannot guarantee running condition or accuracy.
