Actually, it was an eBay purchase. I've had it for ..... hmm...... 3 or 4 years or so, I guess. The case is hallmarked London, 1865.

This one's pretty cool, too. An 1890 New York Watch Co. in a Philadelphia case, stem wound & lever set, and still has the original caseback sticker attached. Let's see you keep a Rolex hologram on for that long!
