This is my newly acquired 19-jewel Dudley series #2 Masonic pocket watch c.1925. It is the star of my modest collections of Dudley’s. It is housed in an 18k gold-filled case (18k gold-filled cases are unheard of). The serial number is #3000. It appears that this watch was never carried throughout its entire lifetime. The case features a rigid bow and the back is white gold embellished with tiny gold designs.
Enjoy and thanks for looking.

Thanks Dave and AR8Jason. It was a net purchase to re-sell but I decided to keep it. Thanks for the picture compliment, I use a 10 year old Sony camera for the pictures.
Yes and I purchased it used and liked it so much I got a second as a back-up (used also).
Wow, beautiful work of art!
AR8Jason,
I have been using the same 3 batteries forever. Actually only 1, which is the long-life. I used to charge it out of the camera but this would erase all my settings. I now charge it in the camera with the power cord. I am keeping my fingers crossed so the batteries may last forever :)
I have to get one of these. Beautiful!
