I came across another treasure when I was doing some of my clean out at home and figured you would want to see it, especially you watch hounds.
I was out doing some garage sailing and not having any luck when I decided to stop into an antique store I hadn't been to in a long time. Sitting right in front of the glass counter was this watch. It was marked at 40 and said "broken". I asked what was broken and was told the winder wouldn't work.
After paying the money, I was handed the leather case (surprise) from behind the register and went out to the car. The seller didn't know the watch was a lever set and it runs beautifully. The case is gold filled but has no wear spots and the face is immaculate.
Aside from the 14k gold case watches I spent 7.00 each on, it's still my favorite and best watch find.
Has anybody else ever come across a similar leather case or does this appear to be a one-off piece?
