路Your Illinois might be a model 3, fifth pinion model? Can't make out the dial on your wrist watch, but indeed a total contrast to the Illinois!
Oh my.... nothing so modern as a model 3! Do you take me for a rich toff! Its a 15j Model 1 Miller, serial number just under 55000..... so about 1874 then.
The fuzzy focused wrist is a '55 caliber 501 Tresor, now that's modern! Its got a rotor that goes all the way round!
as opposed to a key to wind it up.....

路Twas down at the shops today and decided to drop in at the local jeweler as they carry Tudor/Chopard/Rolex/Hermes etcetera and browsing is always fun (though possibly dangerous)...... anyway, while there I purchased a band for the Tudor (which was sitting at home today), when the nice lady asked what model the band was for, I told her it was a 1947 Tudor Oyster. During our conversation, when I told her it wasn't an automatic but had to be wound each day, she suggested it might need a new battery.
Really.....
and this shop hopes I'll spend many dollars there on a new watch based on their skill with the product.
not likely.......
Mind you.... I might send it round to Al to have him look at it....... solar panel might need cleaning. Maybe its just not charging........
saving grace on the visit....... found a $100 on the ground next to my bike in the parking lot....... nice!

I took a second look at your second picture of the Illinois. It is in a key wind case. Can you post the movement serial number? The Illinois model 1 was a key winder, but it was in a hunter case. Yours is open faced. The model 2 was hunter cased, and stem or key wind. AFAIK, the first 18-size Illinois in an open faced case was the fifth pinion model 3, and it was a key or stem wind transitional model. I have one.
