| Estimate | 600.00 - 1,200.00 USD |
| Group - Category | Jewelry & Watches |
| Lead | Movement only- Bunn adjusted s#2061 |
| Description |
With Abbott's conversion, 18S, 45.68mm dial plate diameter, originally KWKS, now SW-LS, WE-SSD with two-line signature, lever escapement, 15J adjusted, gilt mvt, s#2061, the 61st watch of the second run, or the 161st Bunn.
The mvt is accompanied by a second of the pair of conversion inserts that would be installed, this one to accept the stem. As noted in our other auctions of watches with this system, there are some who find them interesting, and others who dislike any conversion from original. There are some installations that are factory perfect, and others more amateur, of which this is an example. With a rare mvt like this, offered disassembled with dial and motion work separate to allow inspection, we would side with those finding it unfortunate. Fossette Collection.
Condition: From the perspective of the back plate, once wound by key we see motion consistent with GRO, excellent plus mvt condition overall with hardly any speckle, very little oxide, but staining obscuring the regulator scale; from the front with dial removed, we see hammering of the Abbott cover over the barrel arbor winding wheel that also acts as click, we observe skipping of the winding while using a bench key, we find the setting nearly impossible with far too much resistance, even though the cannon can be turned with a key; in short, we see some good arguments for removing the system components and reverting to KWKS, as has been seen in other examples; it is the old case of if you can't do it right, don't do it at all; dial has hl from top of seconds through center to 1, edge microflecks that will not be seen in case; hands are absent, the seconds post present and straight. The spare Abbott section is quite rusty, needing all bright-work refinished.

Auction Terms & Conditions BIDDING ISSUE NOTE: When placing a bid, please note that EVEN IF the bid is accepted, it does not necessarily mean you are now the high bidder. (Another bidder may have previously bid higher than your current bid, so he/she is the high bidder.) The system does not inform you of this immediately. To verify that you are now the winning bidder, you will need to go back to the Catalog or to your list of bids and check. We are working with the programmers to correct this issue, but it has not yet been corrected.

The Jones & Horan plain English grading system follows this general order from top to bottom for mvts, component parts, metal dials, hands and cases: Pristine (without defect, untouched) | Mint | Near Mint | Excellent | Fine (the average grade for most used, running watches) | Fair | Poor. We no longer use "good" as a grade as it can be misleading, so it only applies to function (see below). We then describe any salient defects that should be called to the attention of the potential buyer.
With respect to wear, we also use the following terms in order: No wear | Hardly any wear | Very little wear | Little wear | Very light wear | Light wear | Medium wear | Ample wear | Substantial or abundant wear | Worn out. These general terms are used in combination with precise descriptions of defects for further elaboration where needed.
Enamel dials are not necessarily graded, but called "perfect" when free of cracks, chips or hairlines, which are structural and always noted. Surface defects such as scratches, discoloration or graphical defects may be present on a perfect dial, and are noted separately.
The term, "Good," is only used alone to indicate that the watch or its function is doing what it should be doing, as in "good running order, good repeat function and tone, good chronograph and date functions," etc. These functions are not rated or graded. "Good crystal" means without meaningful defect, as does "Good dial."
Good running order (GRO) only means that the balance and escapement are performing in healthy fashion and without apparent defect, but does not guarantee timekeeping or warrantee future performance; unless otherwise noted, our timepieces are not serviced by us, and we do not know when they were last serviced from our sources. We do our best to indicate any potential problems or needs for repair.

We will e-mail you an invoice the morning following the sale, if you are a winning bidder. (Please note that these invoice e-mails often end up in "spam" or "junk" mail folders, so please check there if you have not received one. This is especially true of our clients with gmail e-mail addresses.)
We are not set up to accept credit cards, despite the fact that the "Payment Methods" tab would seem to indicate so. That is a page that is "an overall Bidopia account setting" and cannot be removed, according to the programmers. Bidopia is the company that hosts our auctions on their website.
