HAMPDEN DUEBER GOLD FILLED RAILROAD GRADE 21 JEWEL POCKET WATCH ENGRAVED RUNS<\/a>Opens in a new window or tab<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice the watch description says Railroad Grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is a lie\/scam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I know?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because I know the first thing you should do if your going to buy a
watch is check out the movement serial number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The watch above movement serial number is 338317 in the pic
provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plug that number into pocketwatchdatabase.com and you will
see <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Railroad Grade:<\/td>No<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It still looks like a nice watch but I would not buy it because when the
movement serial number is checked in the pocketwatch data base its
NOT a Railroad Grade Watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means the seller is trying to sell you a better watch than it really is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seller says its been serviced and runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/www.ebay.com\/itm\/127112138604?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seller knows you can use the movement serial number to verify
the watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seller it seems hopes you don’t know this and won’t look up the
movement serial number in the pocketwatchdatabase.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A scam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
