1931 Illinois Bunn Special 161

This Illinois Bunn Special 161 pocket watch from 1931 had a damaged Elinvar hairspring and was missing the gold endstone cap jewel. We searched high and low for the missing gold! Follow us along as we complete a full service and restoration for this high grade railroad pocket watch. Disclaimer. Love watches, but I have no background in watchmaking or watch repair. My great grandfather was a watchmaker and perhaps the apple didn't fall too far, who knows. I'm a very much a student of horology, learning as I go. All repairs at your own risk etc.
