Gents Silver Wrist Watch, 1928

Gents silver wrist watch, 1928.

The watch has a Swiss hand-winding movement which is working nicely.

The watch measures 30mm wide excluding the winding crown and 30mm high excluding the fixed lugs. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the case back for London 1928, with a sponsor’s mark for George Stockwell.

From 1 June 1907, Stockwells acted as assay agents, facilitating the import into Britain of foreign gold and silver items which had to be assayed and hallmarked in a UK assay office before being released for retail.

The case is in good condition, just gentle unevenness to the back but nothing serious at all.

The lens has a 5mm scratch and a couple of smaller marks but not too noticeable to the naked eye.

The dial has faint hairline cracking to the edge, next to number 10, but you need to look closely to see it.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (because of GPSR legislation, we no longer post items less than 100 years old to Europe, including Northern Ireland).
