Manufacturing of Elgin watches took place at their facility in Elgin, Illinois.* Each time we work on an Elgin fancy like this, we proceed with extreme caution. The dial is flawless, and handling such dials is the most common way they are damaged. Once the dial is safely removed from the movement, we move on to the full service and restoration. Afterward, we fit the movement into the case without the dial and carefully adjust the case to ensure there is enough clearance to precisely accommodate the exceptionally fragile dial—essentially fitting a thin layer of glass between two rigid metal plates. When everything is aligned and verified, we delicately place the dial back onto the movement, attach the hands with precision, and, holding our breath, secure the front bezel. The result is a 44 mm conversion featuring a flawless porcelain-enamel dial that is both beautiful and elegant. Beneath the surface is a fully restored Elgin in-house movement, running as smoothly as it did the day it left the factory. Dating to 1915, this WWI-era piece retains its original case, completing the historic charm. It was an incredible snow day at Frett & Co, converting this remarkable timepiece. **Price**: $2,149, But absolutely negotiable—especially to someone with an interest in getting involved in vintage American watchmaking. **Case:** 316L stainless, 44 mm diameter, 47 mm lug to lug (52 mm with crown), 13 mm height, front/back sapphire crystals. Front, back, and crown gaskets provide 50 meters of water resistance although it is recommended to take the piece off before water activities. **Shipping**: UPS 2nd Day Air free in the USA. International shipping via DHL Express (\~$100), which takes approximately one week. **Payment Method**: PayPal, PayPal Credit, Venmo, Apple Pay, CashApp, Wise, Afterpay, Affirm, Klarna, and All Major Credit Cards **Service History**: The watch was serviced in 2025 and comes with a 1-year service warranty. The watch was inspected and cleaned. The watch was re-assembled and oiled using high-grade Swiss oil. Time keeping will vary depending on position. **About us**: We are a small batch, custom watch restoration company located in Central Arkansas USA. Our mission is to preserve and enhance vintage and antique watches. Everything we work on is done in house completely by hand. Each timepiece we produce is one-of-a-kind.
