Case Composition: Fahy's Silverore No.1  I assume this is the same as Ore Silver which is another name for Nickel alloy
Running Condition:  This watch runs* Please refer to asterisk statement below
Case size not including bow or crown: 56.4mm in diameter
Notes/Condition: You don't see these american made pair cases too often.
* Denotes current condition.  The service history of this watch is unknown to me unless I state otherwise.  Therefore you should expect to service this watch if you are a responsible collector.  Often times these watches have been forgotten in a jewelers desk or in a back room for 30 plus years.  I like to save them from that demise and get them back into the hands of collectors.  It doesn't take very long for old gummy oil to stop a movement from running ( many times just a week or so ) or even worse if the oil is dried out it might not take too long for the watch to grind itself up inside so please understand I can only tell you how the watch is performing here.
Thanks for looking. Please take a look at all the other clocks and watches I have this week and weeks to come as well as my store inventory. I am telling you this, because I will gladly combine / reduce shipping whenever possible. No international bidders without prior approval. International shipments must be sent registered mail and insured. Please feel free to ask questions or request additional pictures. All watches and clocks are tested at time of listing and rechecked when shipping. The post office can be unkind to vintage timepieces during shipment. Because of this I package items better than necessary to insure a positive experience. Condition of clocks and watches are all documented with photos and video prior to shipment. No International bidders without prior approval. All international shipments must be registered and insured. No Customs fees are included in the shipping quotes I give. Also I cannot be liable for delays at customs checkpoints. No Shipments to Italy ( sorry ) Thanks for looking and have a great day.
