    Dreamcasts…
    (1 item)

    This is an old watch of my grandpa's and I’m looking for some information on it. I looked around and found a similar model in body in a 1920 Illinois pocket watch but the face plate doesn’t match. Can you help me fill in the blanks about this watch, so I can tell its story some day?

      You need to take the back off so we can see the serial number on the movement. Here's a link to help you get it open: http://thewatchguy.homestead.com/pages/opencase.html
