Love the detailing on the case edge!

 

Sorry I stole it from the UK and had it shipped to the colonies.

 

Found some markings on the case edge. I haven't been able to find anything else that would tell if the case is gold or gold filled.

The fact that it says Guaranteed 25 years means it is gold filled.

 

Looks a lot like mine.....on the inside

This should help

 

Thanks. That's what I was wondering. Pocketwatch 101 also said that only 5% of all pocket watches were solid gold so you're not likely to find one that isn't plated or gold filled (especialy for what I paid)

A lovely piece of history, enhanced by some amazing photography too! Was that a microscope you used ;-)

Thanks. Just an iPhone with a Jeweler's loupe.

 

Somewhat Baroque hands and numerals - very nice

 

Baroque: when you are out of Monet.
