1953?

C-389912

Model 2

Maybe the company bought these watches in advance of their employees' retirement?

Looks like a model 10 or 16. Can't be sure by your pics. The serial number would help narrow it down. The prices you quoted seem a tad high. Pocket watches are not typically very valuable unless they have complications which this one does not. I would estimate that in good running condition at the high end it may be around $500. I'm not exactly an expert and could use more info to be sure.

Thanks for any info.

Movement SN is S18798

It is a 950B; not a 992B

I hope this helps. Thanks again for any info!

Sorry, totally missed that. It was late...

 

[BigJohnE]

No problem! I just appreciate your looking into it. Like I said, I know nothing about this watch except for the bits and pieces I've found on Google.

The watch was with a bunch of stuff I inherited. But no one in the family is familiar with it or has any idea whose it was. May have just been something that some family member took in a trade or something.

Found my S/N for the 950B - Looks like the works were made in 1944. Still trying to figure out the value. Thanks.

Back when railroads ran by timetable. Neat pieces

 

[chucklenut]

Do I need a special tool or anything to unscrew the front bezel?
