We buy the movement separate. There is no established price for the watch as we send it out. We are giving the most we can get for the money. The watch is a good time-keeper; durable; open-face; has seven jewels; is decidedly worth repairing; good enough; a great deal better than any foreign watch for the money; better than any other American watch for the money.
The argentine case is a substitute for silver, substantial, keeps its silver look. The silver case is no better, unless you object to an imitation. The argentine case is plain, the silver is chased (“turned” is the technical word), the neatest of watch-case engraving. Stem-winders and setters of course.
Waterbury Watch, chain, whistle and agate charm. Price for the whole, $3; for $4 in new subscriptions. Postage 15 cents.
Perhaps a million of these watches are in use. As good a time-keeper as any common watch and bears a good deal of banging. The only fault we ever heard of in it is the slowness of winding—takes about a minute and a half—stem-winder at that. The makers undertake to repair it for 50 cents and postage. The case is bright nickel, or what is called nickel—looks like silver.
