Hard 2 Find Private Label 1899 Hamilton 16S 16J Grade 976 Pocket Watch Runs

  

Also Hard to find movement Grade. Hamilton only produced 4,460 of these movements and only a handful of them are private labeled. Hard to find one in this condition. This is Original Triple Hinged Keystone Gold Filled Case.

NOTE: Do not attempt to replace this case. This is a very hard to find original case with the stem locked into the movement. Therefore, unless you are a watchmaker, do not attempt to remove the movement from the case as the stem is locked into the movement with a small screw. Also, unless you are a professional watchmaker, do not attempt to snap open the front cover.

The dial is in excellent condition. If you are not careful, you can easily chip the dial when attempting to snap open the front cover. These dials are nearly impossible to be replaced.

Especially one in this condition. You do not need open front cover to set the time becausetThis is a pendant/crown set movement. All you have to do is pull the crown (might need to use a little force when pulling the crown, but be careful). The watch Winds, Sets, and Runs.

For its age, it is considered a great runner and keeps great time (See Time Graph). Please check out all the high quality pictures for detail condition of the watch. Setting: Pendant Set (Open front cover and pull lever to set the time). Case: Original Triple Hinged Open Face.

Maker: Keystone Watch Case Co.
