Description

Offered for sale is an antique Hamilton 992 open-faced railroad pocket watch, made in USA probably circa 1916.  This is a 16-size watch, and measures approximately 51mm (2″) diameter.  This watch features a Hamilton Model #8 (by Wadsworth) 10k yellow gold-filled bar-over-crown screw back and bezel case, a 21-jewel adjusted stem-wind lever-set Railroad Grade 992 movement, and a double-sunk porcelain dial with Arabic numerals and blue steel spade hands.   The case is in very good condition, showing signs of normal pocket carry and some very light brassing (noticeable only if you look very closely).  There is some light personal engraving on the case back with a date of 1942 (the watch is older than that).  The dial is in excellent original condition, showing no visible cracks or chips.  The movement runs and keeps excellent time.  Overall, a presentable watch that is ready to carry with pride or present as a wonderful gift to a person who appreciates fine timepieces.  You can own this very high grade, American-made pocket watch, for $599.99.  If you have questions about this watch or about my watch and clock repair services, please feel free to contact me.
