A gents over-sized 1930s West End Watch Co watch
A gents over-sized 1930s West End Watch Co Sowar wrist watch.
The watch has a hand-winding movement, a Longines in-house calibre 15.26, which is working well. The movement has the West End Watch Co logo. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.
The West End Watch Co in Bombay were the Longines agents in India and they supplied many watches to British India’s civil service as well as military personnel.
The name Sowar was used for watches sold in India and the Far East, and it means “one who rides” in Persian and “warrior” in Hindi.
The watch itself is a very good size at 38mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the fixed wire lugs. The case is nickel. There is some marking to the front but not too detrimental. The case back has some unevenness and some indentations / knocks. The winding crown is a later replacement.
The watch glass has light marking but is very acceptable.
The signed dial is in good condition with just a short hairline crack on the subsidiary seconds dial. Blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.
The watch has a vintage black leather strap although not the original.
The watch will be sent 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.
The international buyer is responsible for paying any import duties and taxes.
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.
We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
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.
