Eureka watches are hard to nail down on date of production because of destroyed company records. The closest I can nail down is the 1890's. The case is has been tested to be 14k SOLID Rose gold it is a very ornate case with extremely little wear evident. The bow is very tight. The spring for the hunter case works as it should. The crown has no evidence of wear. The dial is absolutely flawless hand painted enamel. Movement is lever set and jeweled. It does not say how many jewels and I have not taken the dial off to see how many are on that side but it looks to me like a 7 jewel movement. Serial number is 33390. This movement runs very well and shows no evidence of major repairs or molestation. Eureka was one of the Gallet brands in the late 1800's. Size for this watch is in Swiss lignes. Size 15 3/4 (35.5mm). The case is 42mm measuring from 9 to 3 o'clock. Very crisp design.
