I made an exception on the dial quality for this watch, typically we attempt to find perfect to near perfect dials, however, this one has serval faint hairs lines; it is still very attractive and you can not see them unless you're close up.  The reason I accepted this dial on the lever set railroad grade pocket watch, is that Elgin typically made watches in very high productions and in not this style case.  It's a rare Elgin that you don't see everyday.  The watch features a bright white porcelain single sunk dial in good condition (some hairlines), nickel movement, hinged and level set with no personal engravings.  The Father Time by Elgin is known to be an excellent railroad grade watch similar in quality as the Illinois Bunn Special.
