Hamilton 992B
I haven't posted many photos here lately as I've been concentrating on catching up following a bit of vacation time. Just the same, I've seen some great watches over the past few weeks.

Elgin Grade 73
The Elgin grade 73 is an older model 18 size, 7 jewel watch.
This one, made in 1896, features a fancy dial with gold inlay details and gilt hands. It's unusual to see one of these fancy dials in such outstanding condition.

Elgin Grade 391
Here's a nice Elgin grade 391. This is a high-grade 16 size, 21 jewel railroad watch featuring an "up/down" indicator which shows remaining runtime on the mainspring.
This is a B.W. Raymond movement, made about 1911.

DID YOUR WATCH RIDE WITH YOU ON A BICYCLE BUILT FOR TWO?
A wonderful thing, indeed, is a watch that has been with you for many years. With it you associate the fondly remembered yesterdays. But many others see it too, and with critical eyes undulled by sentiment. They regard that watch as they do the clothes you wear... as an index to your business and social standing. Can you afford to be so judged, and possibly discounted, when a new and modish Elgin Watch may be had for so modest a sum? And Elgin is conceded to be the world's standard for watch integrity.
THE WATCH WORD FOR ELEGANCE AND EFFICIENCY
