Pocket Watch : 1930s Cyma Pocket Watch, Thomas Russell

The watch has a good quality Swiss 15 jewel movement which is working well. The movement is protected by an inner hinged fitted cover which has an old hand inscribed message, “J H, 1936, a present from dear wife Rose”. The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold filled and was made by the Illinois Watch Case Company. The case has general light surface marks but overall it is in nice condition for a 1930s watch. The watch glass has light marking but is very acceptable. The dial is signed with the name of the original retailer, Thomas Russell of Liverpool. It is in nice condition with original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland). Please cost us regarding international shipping costs.
