It runs fine and keeps accurate time. The movement is G. T. meaning Gilt Trimmed. This is a gold coloring plate lettering. Movement: The serial number is 858,549 dating this to 1910.The plate are nickel and very shiny. The damaskeen pattern is very impressive with matching wavy lines on all the bridges and matching winding wheels.This is the description in a 1914 catalog. "21 Jewels R. G. Adjusted to temperature and 5 positions and Isochronism, Gold Center Wheel ,Gold tipped Pallet Cap. Double Roller,Steel Escape Wheel. Sunk second and indicator bit." The balance wheel screws are Gold, as are, the jewel setting. Dial: Is a porcelain Double Sunk Bits with red 5 minute markers and Rockford Indicator written in script. The dial has multiple hairlines around the top. I have a close up of it without the bezel. This is a original dial and it shows wear. I would rather have it on the watch than a La Rose or modern replacement. I believe the watch is all original as it is with the dial, case and movement. Case: Is a Crescent Street warranted 25 years gold filled 3 hinge model.It has some slight wear at the pendant, bow and center ring.The front bezel and dust cover as well as the rear cover don't show any wear through.
