This vintage 1917 Elgin 12s pocket watch is a true piece of history! The golden-gilded 7-jewel movement still winds up smoothly, and the second hand runs beautifully—such a cool find for collectors. While the hour and minute hands need adjustment (they move when setting time but don't advance on their own), it’s a fantastic project watch or for parts. The 44mm open-face case has great character, and the Elgin heritage shines through. Perfect for someone who loves restoring timeless pieces!
