HIS DAD HAD THIS SAME WATCH WHEN HE WAS A BOY(MY FRIEND),BUT HE WANTS TO FIND A CASE FOR IT,AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO LOOK OR WHAT TO LOOK FOR. ANY ASSISTANCE FOR THIS WOULD BE GREATLY WELCOMED. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HE WANTS (SENTIMENTAL REASONS).PLEASE RESPOND . RICK
Hi Rick,
The case for a Dudley watch is shaped like a Keystone and covered in leather. I have had 1 in my lifetime and they are impossible to find today. I have heard that the can sell for $750-$1000 depending on condition.
Good luck, I hope you can find one,
Jim
What is the word i need to use when searching for this, is the case called a keystone ? who makes it?
the watch he has is serial #ed 4850 which makes it a series 3 .
