This pocket watch is the infamous Illinois Bunn Special, which many collectors believe was the best Railroad watch made.  It certainly doesn't lack in craftsmanship. The movement is very well finished and decorated with high end  features such as gold set screwed in jewels, adjusted in 6 positions, micro regulation and so on.  This piece is a very good example for a couple of reasons.  First, the dial had no cracks or hairlines; it does have the lightest nick on it right above the subdial - nothing major.  The case really seals the deal.  The 14k white gold filled case is high quality, very little wear, extremely well finished and no personal engravings (there is room for one in the back of the case).  Top that off with a nice clean, well working movement just recently serviced and we have ourselves a winner.  This Bunn separates itself from many other seen on the market.  Thank you for looking.
