    Sometimes beauty is found inside.
    Here is a new addition to the collection. A nice cal 77 with Cresarrow case dating from 1919.
    I love the art deco style gold case with black inlay.
    But as said, sometimes beauty is found inside, and with a cal 77, this is an obvious fact.
    Here are some pictures from my watch and with my other cal 77.
    The cal 77 has some variations in number of jewels, from 15 to 21 ( some say also a variation with 23 jewels ). Here I have one with 19 jewels.
    There are some interesting posts about the cal 77 and the Cresarrow cases you can find in the archives, I selected a few for you.
    about the Cresarrow cases , by Cellar
    and some more

    Enjoy the read.

    Nicely done Tonny. Isn't 19 jewels unusual?

    But, a pretty face nonetheless. Congrats, Tonny!

    Oh Tonny, so very nice!

    Now of course, if that was my watch (as we are non-commercial here, this is not an offer to buy).... I'd be hung up in trying to decide what to do with that pretty face?

    To restore or not to restore - that is the question?
