***********FOR PARTS/REPAIR - The AS 1124 D manual wind movement does not run as the crown cannot be wound. At a minimum it's likely that the mainspring needs to be replaced. The time can be set albeit with some tension. A complete overhaul is required. This is a midsize watch measuring approximately 31 mm excluding the crown, approximately 34 mm including the crown and approximately 16 mm between the lugs.***********
This vintage 1940/50's Wadsworth, which came from the estate of its original owner, has a lovely aged "SWISS" only signed dial and the lume, which no longer glows after being exposed to bright light, has aged gracefully. The chrome-plated case shows considerable wear and brassing. The outer edge of the case back is stamped "WADSWORTH - WATERPROOF - RESISTANT TO SHOCK - DUST AND MAGNETISM" with "BASE METAL BEZEL STAINLESS STEEL BACK" stamped along the inner edge and "77" stamped in the center. The inside of the case back is stamped "WADSWORTH DIVISION" followed by "ELGIN NATIONAL WATCH COMPANY" and "SWISS." The crystal shows scratching.
The 7 jewels unadjusted Swiss "WADSWORTH" stamped AS 1124 D manual wind movement does not run as the crown cannot be wound. At a minimum it's likely that the mainspring needs to be replaced. The time can be set albeit with some tension. A complete overhaul is required.
This watch measures approximately 31 mm excluding the crown, approximately 34 mm including the crown and approximately 16 mm between the lugs. Case thickness, measured from the bottom of the case back to the top of the fixed bezel, is approximately 5.5 mm. Including the crystal thickness measures approximately 9 mm.
A complete overhaul is required. As such there are no warranties, express or implied, attached with the sale of this watch. Vintage means old and while my personal belief is that old school means better quality and workmanship, things can and do go wrong from time to time. For this watch that time is now. Any servicing costs going forward are your responsibility.
Please thoroughly read this entire listing and kindly ask any and all questions you may have prior to buying as this sale is final and no refunds of any kind will be given. And please study the 15 high magnification pictures carefully as they are part of the description and serve as an accurate representation of the condition of this watch.
Expedited and insured shipping will be provided. Thanks for looking!
