Pocket Watch : 1940s Gun Metal Pocket Watch by Rotherham & Sons

The watch has a Swiss stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Rands, a brand name registered by Rotherham & Sons (R and S) of London and La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1928. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover. The watch measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gun metal which is an alloy of copper, tin and zinc, and it has gold coloured embellishments. There is surface marking to the case, which is quite normal for gun metal, and overall it is in good condition. The acrylic lens is in good condition. The dial is in good condition just some slight discolouration to the centre. The watch comes with a single chain, 24cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
