Description: Eska Duo dial
Firstly I would like to address what I see on most watch adds here on eBay saying rare those who use the term rare should define the word. Here for your consideration is what can only be described as rare a Gents 1926 solid 18ct Eska Duo dial early wrist watch made famous by rumour of being the choice of watch that was worn by the notorious Gangster Al Capones. Although subsequently untrue Al Capone wore a Rolex Prince ref 3140 but you can very much see the resemblance in this Eska dual dial they are very much on par. Please do a little research on the net and forums to understand how rare this watch is. I am not saying you not see another Eska dual dial watch, but you will find almost impossible to find another in 18ct solid gold. On to the condition report, rectangle curvex case in nice condition no hard use present or bad imperfections, silver dial this is a earlier re finished dial please remember the watch is 100 years old so no surprise. Movement is a 15 jewel Swiss manual movement lever escapement nice and clean keeping good beat accurate time with in the nearest minute. My conclusion simply a lovely old rare time piece for the vintage watch collector this watch can be worn by a man or a lady due to the size of the watch a good investment.
