Gents 1940s Smiths wrist watch for Thomas Russell
Gents 1940s Smiths wrist watch for Thomas Russell.
By the 1940s, Thomas Russell were no longer manufacturing watches but purely buying them in and retailing them. This particular watch was bought in from Smiths of Cheltenham and has a 15-jewel hand-winding movement, made in England, which is working nicely.
The 9 carat gold case is in lovely condition and the haunched lugs are a particularly handsome feature. The side of the case has 9 carat hallmarks. We would usually expect to see hallmarks and a maker's mark inside the case back but this case back has no marks at all which suggests it somehow bypassed the stamping process... there is absolutely no evidence that marks have been polished out or removed as the case back is still a good thickness and there is no scar damage. For peace of mind, the case back has been tested for 9 carat gold and the results were positive.
The case is in good condition, just a slight indentation to the back.
The lens is in good condition too
The signed dial has its original hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers. There is some marking to the dial as shown in the photos.
A new leather strap has been fitted.
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.
