Beautiful Illinois Bunn special ca. 1930 23j 60 hr double roller. Scarce keystone j.boss 10k gold filled model 206 signed case with very little wear and no visible brassing that I can see. I can cut off the nylon fob if you would like pics of the bow. The back bezel has light scratches as well as the plastic crystal from normal wear. The movement is a very scarce model 14, type111b serial #5305427, adjusted temp. Six position., placing production at 1930. It has beautiful red engraving stating "Sixty Hour" and "Illinois Watch " without "Co". The movement has some very light tool scratches that are noticeable at different angles. It has the very rare true Montgomery dial, double sunk, signed "23 Jewel 60 Hour" with no hairline cracks or discoloration that I can see with a very nice gloss sheen to it. The blue second and hour hands have some light wear and discoloration. The stem seems a little loose but not to the point that it falls out., I'm not sure how much free play it's supposed to have if any. There are some minor scratches about 1 o'clock where it looks like someone tried to pry open the back bezel on the case. Both bezels screw on and off smoothly. I did a basic time test and each time it ran between 62.5 - 63 hours on 1 winding and about 1 mintute fast at the end of each test. I am not a professional at grading watches so please examine all the photos closely. I believe the movement, the case, and the dial are true and correct to the year of production. I've described the watch to the best of my knowledge. , you can message me if you have any questions or would like additional photos. You can also get more detailed info from the online "Pocket Watch Database" website. Returns will not be accepted.
