Great original WW1 officers Borgel screw-case trench watch. VGWO

I hope you find something that you like. All my antique pocket watches are generally in original condition, unless otherwise stated. Any faults which are apparent are included in the description. I will always be honest and open, and be as accurate as possible. Please study the photographs carefully since they are an integral part of the description.

Please do ask questions if you require clarification on any part of the description. Antique and vintage watches are by their very nature second hand, and their history and use an unknown quantity. They should be considered as in need of servicing, even if they are listed as running , and unless otherwise stated they may need other adjustments or maintenance. Covers can often be stiff to remove, and may require a sharp blade or watch-knife to open. This is normal, and not a fault. Expect a piece to exhibit exterior and sometimes interior wear and tear, commensurate with its age and use. Please do not expect an antique watch to run or operate consistently or reliably just like a modern timepiece. If they are listed as not working, any additional comments or suggestions I make are purely my opinion, and in no way a guarantee of any kind whatsoever. If listed as in working order, this is no guarantee of future reliability. However, occasionally things can go wrong. Occasionally this can lead to unforeseen delays. I do NOT post to the African continent under any circumstances. Rare fully running example of an original WW1 Borgel cased solid silver officers trench watch. The movement is a quality Swiss 15 jewel piece with a perfect compensation balance. Winds and runs for over 34 hours.

The body of the movement is excellent, and the screw threads are pretty smooth. The main body of the case is also excellent all round, and the screw threads in a similar condition. The crown adjustment and movement release mechanism works just as it should.

The pin set hands mechanism is similarly fine. The lugs are firm, sturdy and nigh on perfect. The hallmarks are for London, I think 1915...

And it is marked for Borgel with the correct Borgel mark. The dial looks very good, although much of the radium has gone from the numbers... But the hands still look quite good though. The glass crystal is excellent. The item "Great original WW1 officers Borgel screw-case trench watch.
