Carrol Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #2 · #267 - The Gears Of Time Beautiful. I like that the "handle" at the top is out of focus. (But I would like it better if the engraving of the leaves were in better focus.) Very nicely done! ~ Carrol Edited on Oct 12, 2007 at 02:35 PM Oct 08, 2007 at 10:28 PM

Philly Rains Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #4 · #267 - The Gears Of Time Beautifully done! What a wonderful heirloom, and you captured it perfectly, in my humble opinion. Good DOF, and lighting. Really brought out the beauty of the works. Edited on Oct 12, 2007 at 02:35 PM Oct 09, 2007 at 05:18 AM

cmatlack Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #5 · #267 - The Gears Of Time Caroll, Saul & Philly, Thank you for your positive comments, This was really a fun WA to do. I haven't looked at the watch for years. More history of the watch. It is still in working order, looks well used and is missing the hour hand. I am actually thinking of taking it to the local jewelry store and see what it would cost to have it cleaned and repaired. A quick Google search on Elgin watches turned up an old database, based on the serial number this is what turned up about this watch. grade total runs first yr last yr class size code jewels Adj/name ----- ----- ----- -------- ------- ----- ---- ------ ------ ---------- 128 7000 6 1893 1894 31 16s o3n5p 11j I have no way of photographing these but on further inspection of the movement cover, there are very very small engravings of past repairs to the watch, look like the were scratched into the metal with a small sharp metal pin. 6-25-00 & 1-7-03 & 10-10-10 & 8-9-45 & 8-1-51 "must not be a swiss watch " Thanks Again, -cmatlack Edited on Oct 12, 2007 at 02:35 PM Oct 09, 2007 at 11:15 AM
