Description

This is an Illinois CAPRICE model desk/purse/pocket watch. It has a WGF case that still has its original brown snake skin intact. It is very difficult to locate a CAPRICE with its skin still attached. The outer skin is in good condition, the rest of the case and dial are in excellent shape.

A little brown shoe polish would improve the look of the snake skin, if so desired .

Its 3/0 size, 17j movement is running well and is guaranteed for one year plus ten days.
