<p>[QUOTE="ItsAJ, post: 116630, member: 1675"]That was a great thread you linked me too, but confusing, I know the man that owned the watch originally died in 1891 and it said on that thread the charitable service that used the St george motif was created in 1894 unless the same inscription and decoration was used for other things prior? I don't think it's a knock off though, I don't collect watched but I do collect coins and the wear and colouring of the metal in certain places are appropriate to its age that just can't be faked. It's the inner working that are confusing me, and the maker, and this date issue of the motif. EDIT :just found watches from earlier with the same legend and motif so that's good[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
