I was wondering if anyone had any information on this pocket watch. I have only found one like it online, but that one had black hand and the "Swiss Made" at the bottom was visible when looking at it. The one I have has gold hands and the "Swiss Made" is at the bottom of the face, but only visible if looking for it. The last pic of the watch with an all white back ground is the one I found online. I was told be an antiques dealer that the ones with black hands were reproductions made in the 1970. He also stated that the originals are extremely rare and almost impossible to find.
Thanks in advance.
To whom it may concern I to own the same watch and I came across this site about watches my watch has gold hands.I always wonder the back ground on the watch.
I have one. It has gold hands. The face cover has a crack on it. My mother got it from someone who owned the Pepsi plant probably in Greenville, NC unsure of the year. My great uncle married into the Minges family and my mother was friends with several of the Minges. The back of the watch is not shiny and the watch pendant itself was put on a long chain.
I have this wat h my dad worked at pepsi cola plant for 38 years. Its in mint condition. He passed recenrly. He would have been 90 years old in oct 2018.
