One of the guys at work was headed outside for lunch in the sun today as it was the first really nice warm spring day this year. He asked if I was coming and I said I'd be out at 12. He said his beautiful gold tone Invicta said it was after twelve and asked what my watch said. I held up my faithful 1925 Elgin, which said 11:55, and told him it said it was time he bought a decent watch. We both had a laugh at that.

Have you checked out Wayne Schlitt’s Elgin website at http://elginwatches.org/ ? A wealth of information. I have a grade 571 BWR, but I prefer these earlier grades because of the fact the jewels are in settings, and not friction fit. Love that dial!

I wouldn't care to know how much time I've blown on that site.... but it was all worth it!

and yes, I also prefer the older movements for the screwed in fittings and I bought it for that face!
