J HARRIS POCKET WATCH
by RICK CURRIE
(PORT HURON MI. USA)
I HAVE PURCHASED AN 18KT GOLD LARGE POCKET WATCH
THE MOVEMENT IS HAND ENGRAVED J A HARRIS LIVERPOOL
No20980 IT WINDES WITH THE STEM, THERE IS A VERY SMALL
PLUNGER TYPE BUTTON NEAR THE STEM TO PUSH IN TO SET THE TIME. THE MOVEMENT IS 44MM IN DIAMETER. THE WATCH IS
53.3MM ACROSS. IT IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH NO DENTS OR DEEP SCRATCHES. IT HAS AN OPEN FACE WITH A THICK CRYSTAL ROMAN NUMERALS AND A SMALLER INSET DIAL @
6 FOR THE SECOND HAND THE DIAL HAS SOME DUST BUT NO CRACKS. IT IS NOT RUNNING. WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT
IT? SHOULD I GET IT REPAIRED OR SCRAP THE GOLD?
I ESTIMATE THE CASE TO WEIGH ABOUT 50 GRAMS. THE ENTIRE
WATCH WEIGHS 132.6 GRAMS WHAT DO YOU THINK THE VALUE WILL BE AS IS AND IF I HAVE IT REPAIRED?
