Hand setting from center arbor on the dial.  Serialnumber: Case no 77872. Movement no 77872.Accessories: Winding key Condition: Movement is in working order, but there is no guarentee concerning the timekeeping. The up & down hand moves as it should when you wind the watch. The condition is visible in the pictures. I always recommend to clean the movement and give it new fresh watch oil before regular use. History: Loomes Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World has two entries: Sizer John & son Grimsby Lincolnshire c 1900, Sizer John Grimsby Lincolnshire 1879-92. Case: Sam Yeomans was also a very fine watchmaker who submitted many watches to Kew for certification. If the watch has anything to do with him it is likely to be of good quality. He was appointed the first Chairman of Coventry Watch Manufacturing Company.Payment: I will reduce the price with 5 % if payment is done directly to my bankaccount and If you choose this alternative I will pay the transport including insurance letter/parcel with trackingnumber!!!Paypal is also possible but with transport and Insurance at the buyer´s expense.Transport: 20 USD WORLDWIDE.Insurance: After agreement at buyers expense.Questions: Please don´t hesitate to contact me regarding further information and extra detail photos.Other auctions: Please also check my other auctions!
