Maybe someone wanted an open faced “side winder” or it’s been recased over the last 105 years.HandyDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02083270175066343104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855696413978429801.post-76983177288151940862018-02-22T16:08:13.250-08:002018-02-22T16:08:13.250-08:00Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.
I...Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.<br /><br />I recently purchased a Hamilton 975 with movement (1046789)manufactured during the 1913. 17J pendent set and adjusted. The watch i got is an open face case with pendent located at 3 o'clock position. SS case. The only difference i have noticed is that crown wheel has two small screws securing it and no movement model number engraving. <br /><br />One statement in your article drawn my full attention. your says "Originally the buyer would pick out the movement they wanted and the jeweler would then provide a selection of cases to install it in."<br /><br />I want to know whether my watch is a franken or cased by the jeweler based on buys choice. What is your opinion?<br /><br />Thanks & Regards<br /><br />Rony ThomasAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04943398673239211923noreply@blogger.com
