| An interesting pair of watches, (together with A4906) both apparently unused. Less than a year and one hundred in serial number apart they are very similar although not identical. The most striking difference is the covering of the third case. It is probable that watches could be ordered in a variety of sizes, qualities and materials. Should anyone wish to purchase both watches a discount will be given. |
