Vintage Manual Wind-up ELGIN 17 Jewel Pocket Watch Size16s 22691398 Mod 7 Nickel Silver DEFIANCE Case 0696714. Made in USA Elgin Illinois USA. Pocket watch comes from local estate. It has been stored up a lot of years (family says about 30). I wind it up set the time it kicked right off. I have monitored it over a week hanging on a pocket watch hanger. It w...inds, sets, and runs either hanging or laying on its back and keeps reasonable time if I don't forge to wind it up every day.. Loses about 2 minutes daily. IF you lay watch face down it will stop. Most of the time within 5 minutes but sometimes before you can get the back unscrewed. I have not attempted adjustment. It may be spot on with your location??..Or may be good enough.. Large black hands and dial numbers. Second hand at 6 o'clock. Watch has wear outside back center area and looks like tarnish specks inside back works on one of the wheels should be visible in photos. Crystal good with normal wear with no cracks, or chips and just little normal wear showing. Watch is clean inside. Meaning I don't see and corrosion, rust or other objects that would hinder the operation. There is small hairline crack in clock face about 7 o'clock running up to the second hand I have marked in red in photo above. Another one across the same 7 area not visible in photos but can see using a loupe. I almost missed them both. I know very little about pocket watch but I admire the American workmanship and I certainly like to fool, buy, sell and trade them. What little information I provide other than condition and watch marked data, I get my info from other websites including Pocket Watch Database. You need pocket watch date they be a good place to go.
