It's a beautiful dial on this one, I do not see any flaws on the bright porcelain dial.  The original hands are fire blued steel that has changed to a deep purple color over  the years.  Just serviced, this piece is a size 16s Railroad grade made to be thinner than most of the era.  As you can see, Illinois spared no expense on the Abe Lincoln when it comes to the movement and its components.  With stunning geneva stripes and very expensive gold set screwed down jewels on the plate.  The case is gold filled and is in good condition with some slight signs of wear and a couple of small dents (bezel is perfectly clean).  As always with Railroad watches, this is lever set to ensure accurate setting.  The case features a swing out movement holder and pull out stem.  A very stunning piece.
