HOWARD RAILROAD CHRONOMETER ( Original Box & License ! ) - $850.00
mmmmmmm here it is . . . .
The item you are bidding on is an AUTHENTIC RAILROAD POCKET WATCH by the E. Howard Watch Company of Waltham, Mass. This amazing historical pocket watch dates all the way back to 1914!!! This original high grade RAILROAD CHRONOMETER has 21 ruby jewels in gold settings and is ADJUSTED TO TEMPERATURE AND 5 DIFFERENT POSITIONS. It has just been taken out of our safe for your consideration, professionally serviced by our watchmaker ( cleaned, oiled and regulated ) and it is running really strong. The ORIGINAL DIAL looks very good but not perfect as it does have a couple of very light hairlines. It is a very nice original dial. The HOWARD RAILROAD CASE is very nice, almost perfect with the smallest hints of wear. Fancy scripted initials on the back. Both the bezel and the back lid screw on and off with ease. It's a great case. It runs well, keeping very good time. ( RAILROAD TIME . . . straight up and down on our Vibrograph timing machine ). Overall this is an outstanding ORIGINAL railroad watch that will continue to increase in value. To illustrate this point I pulled out an older guide from 1996 and the top book then was $425. The 2003 guide list it at $750. Not a bad investment huh??? Have you checked the 2004? (( It's up another $50 . . . . . )) Remember that the 2005 will be out soon and it is likely to see another nice increase.
I'd like to ask you to do one more further piece of research for yourself. Go to any search engine and type the words INFLATION CALCULATOR. After finding this tool enter in the ORIGINAL PRICE of $78.50 that was paid for this watch way back in 1914 to see the equivalent in 2004 DOLLARS. My research shows this is like someone paying $1400 today. This was a huge investment then. This watch was loved it's entire life. Will you treat it the same way ?????
Regardless of what you pay now in a few years you will not be able to get this watch in this same condition for anywhere near today's price. Think about it. You do not have to die with your money - you can have a beautiful antique railroad treasure to ENJOY , to pass down for generations to come and all the while you were making a nice investment. Buy with confidence.
SO . . . . . . ARE YOU WILLING TO BUY A WATCH THAT HAS JUST BEEN SERVICED BY A TRUSTED DEALER THAT COMES WITH A MONEY BACK GUARANTEE ???
If your a antique pocket watch collector or are looking to give a person who appreciates time a nice gift this would be the one . . . . . . .
Money back if your not pleased.
