Cool!
Neat! This is the second one I’ve seen. The other one was at the LCS I work at. That one ahead a 1904 in it. They sold it a while ago.

That's nice!
Very nice !!!
'Corum' was the original.....I've never owned one though.
A watch that can't be easily read without opening the front ... pass ... melt bucket material.
Very cool.
Classy item....not practical, but still would go nice at a formal affair....What is the price tag on one of those? Cheers, RickO
I bet that watch is worth a lot more than melt value.

I'm sure it is ... but not to me.
The watch case is made with two sawed in half and hollowed out double eagles to make room for the watch movement. I'm guessing there's less than half an once of gold there.
