Default Nice Watch !!!

That is a really nice ILLINOIS watch Greg...Want to sell it? It appears to be a size 18 (trying to match it with you hand size). It should have a serial number located in the back cover of the watch. If you can find it..Go to the web site that I have provided and you can put the serial number in and find the exact date of the watch, How many jewels it has and so on. If you don't have the time...Give me the serial number and I will be glad to do it...PAPPY

Default Watch

1927 was the mfg. date of your watch. Should have a jewler's initials right under the serial number and should state how many jewels is in the watch. Let me know and we will research it further..PAPPY
