Watch: Antique 9ct Gold Trench Watch - Rotherhams 1922

The watch has a Swiss hand-winding movement which is working nicely. In an effort to compete with Swiss watch manufacturers, Rotherham & Sons bought in some of their movements from Switerland, they were then cased by Rotherham & Sons and sold under their name. The watch measures 33mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the fixed wire lugs. The case is 9 carat gold and there are hallmarks inside the case back for Birmingham 1922, along with the mark for Rotherham & Sons. The case is in good condition and is free from personal inscriptions. The lens looks good to the naked eye… there are light marks if viewed very closely. The dial is in good condition. The luminous painted detail has been removed from the hands and the numbers at some stage. A new leather strap has been fitted. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland). Please cost us regarding international shipping costs. Some countries do not allow the importation of antiques / watches / precious metals.
