Such a watch would have been railroad grade but in a hunter case very rare, very desirable, and only carried by those of means. The overwhelming majority of railroad watches are in open-faced cases; however, the factory did produce a few in hunter cases for those who craved the ceremony of pulling out a fine timepiece, pushing the crown and watching the lid pop open. It's the movement we see conductors make in all the famous railroad scenes. Beyond a scuff on the front cover of the case that appears to have occurred during the engine-turning process, the case is in remarkably fine condition right down to its vacant cartouches.

No matter where you are the Far East, Europe or the U. If you must have a desirable railroad timepiece to create envy in your friends, you've found a remarkable watch in this solid gold 993. Please take a moment to look at the gold damasceening of the solid nickel movement.
