Hi, I saw this watch today and took some pics to see if I could get some info on it before I bought it. It is a Henry Beguelin watch. Ser#59010, very nice hunter's case(silver). It was $75.00. thanks

Luke,

Pritchard (Swiss Timepiece Makers 1775-1975) notes Cross& Beguelin of New York and La Chaux de Fonds formed in 1860 by Alfred Cross and joined in 1862 by Henry Beguelin......and that his father, also Henry Beguelin, had a firm that was active from 1850-1880 and signed watches "Henry Beguelin". That time period fits both the style of movement and case. Mike

Thanks for the info. I may end up getting it. It has a much nicer looking movement than most of the european watche I see. Almost has demaskeening on it. Overall great condition.
