Very good watches & capable of excellent timekeeping.

But they did play the market like Mattel does now. Lots of variants & short runs to keep the sales going. Illinois sold the watches to the jeweler listed on the dial .

Not a lottery winner but a nice old watch. Railroad adjusted 16s / 18s will always do better. 12s were more of a gents watch than a working timepiece.

Cheers.
