movintage 2,310 Posted March 10, 2021 1950s Lord Elgin Jump Hour, 21J, 719 adjusted manual wind movt. All original including its bracelet which makes it highly collectible for vintage enthusiasts. The Elgin Coat of Arms still has a bit of red enamel on the shield. Being all original enhances its collection value for another reason as it was the signature watch of The King, Elvis Presley. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buddhabar 4,546 Posted March 10, 2021 Very interesting and my curiosity is piqued. Please describe the watch and did you do the conversion?Hello ... This is a Russian Molnija pocket watch with 3601 movement dating back to the 1950s. For the modification as wristwatch, no parts were changed, but simply the 4 holes were drilled to case the wire forged lugs. of brass plated, and then soldered on the holes. Nothing simpler than having a good pillar drill. The drilling is not difficult since it is nickel metal.Here a few pics... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks spot on and the movt. looks well serviced. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
