Description

The listing, Lovely Ladies 17-Jewel Austin Wristwatch! has ended.

Slowly paring down my many watches that I own! Need a good home for this one--Austin, 17- jewel windable watch!! It says " MAJOR" 10k RGP (rolled gold plated, I believe it means) bezel, stainless back. I haven't worn it in years---I gently wound it and it started ticking. Can't guarantee that it will work---so please be aware! I didn't want to overwind it! The band is a Speidel--says " 1/20 10k GF (gold filled)" and is a total of 7 inches in length. Face of watch has slash marks for the hours---very pretty!
Will send the winner the tracking number and expected date of delivery! Good luck and happy bidding!

It looks silver in color. Is it gold in color?

Sorry--I goofed!

Please let us know if it keeps time. How old do you think it is?

Still keeping time after a half an hour! Will try to check again later!

I have gently wound it again in the hopes that I can say it will keep time--at least until it runs out of "winding" energy :0) I can't and won't guarantee because I don't want anyone saying that it stopped working, so please bid cautiously! You can hear it ticking after I wound it --good sign?! Guessing it is maybe twenty or thirty years old--I am not an expert on watches' ages--sorry!

Ok---my watch is STILL ticking after I wound it once---it has been three hours later! I don't want to wind any more as I said in description for fear of overwinding---at least it still has the "ticks and tocks" in it :0)

Awoke this am and checked on watch--it stopped at 5:09 am! Not bad for one winding "session"---hmmm...maybe I should keep :0) Just kidding! Want to find a good home for it---it is very pretty and elegant!!

fanned and watching

I thank you for bidding! Yes, like I wrote you, it kept time until 5:09 this morning when I checked it again. Before I retired for the evening, it kept PERFECT time! It hasn't been worn in a LONG time, so I didn't know if it was keeping time again or not! I started around 5:45 last night till this am--not bad, I would say :0)

Thank you, xmisty98, for fanning me--fanned you back!

Sorry that I didn't state what was obvious to me (and I know pics can be deceiving!)--the watch is all silver colored--thank you for pointing that out!

The band looks like a brushed herringbone design if that helps to picture it--it is a very pretty piece!

Sep 23rd, 2011 at 8:15:54 AM PDT by

Thanks, I started the bidding. Is it keeping time though? I have several vintage watches that tick but get way off time in a few hours.
