Gents 1918 Antique Silver Half Hunter Trench Watch
UK POSTAGE ONLY FOR THIS ITEM
Gents 1918 antique silver half hunter trench watch.
The watch has a 15-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement has been identified as by the General Watch Company, the same movement as Rolex used in their Marconi watches.
The watch measures 35mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the fixed wire lugs. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the screw-on case back for London 1918 with a sponsor’s mark for Arthur Rendell.
In this particular case, Arthur Rendell was an employee, and probably in charge, of the department that handled imported watches at a company called Pringles, the UK's largest wholesalers of antique jewellery, silverware, antique clocks and watches, so it was deemed relevant to use his initials.
The inside of the case back also has a brevet (patent) number which relates to a Swiss 1915 patent for the case design.
The case is in good condition for such an early piece, gentle unevenness to the back and general light surface marks, but nothing too serious at all. The small lens to the front is acrylic.
To open the front cover, there is a button between the bottom lugs.
Inside, there is a glass lens which is in good condition.
The black dial is in its original finish with original hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers. Originally there would have been luminous detail to the hands and numbers but this has been removed over the years.
A new leather strap has been fitted.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
Please contact us before placing international orders so that we can advise of shipping prices and to see if customs regulations allow us to post watches to your country.

All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.
We are a VAT registered company and all purchases are covered by Consumer Regulations.
Credit / debit card purchases can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the \'Buy Securely\' button on each listing page.

With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.
