Condition:
This is a genuine Hamilton 992 railroad‑grade pocket watch with a 21‑jewel, double‑roller, 5‑position‑adjusted movement. The movement is clean and the watch runs.Important Note – Runs, but Does NOT Set:
The movement is lever‑set, but it has been installed in a pendant‑set Keystone J. Boss case that does not have a lever slot. Because of this case mismatch, the crown will wind the watch, but it cannot set the time.
This is a known issue when lever‑set railroad movements are placed in pendant‑set cases.What It Needs:
A proper lever‑cut case or a small lever slot added at the 1:30 position. Once the lever is accessible, the watch will set normally.Case:
Keystone J. Boss gold‑filled case, guaranteed 15 years. Case shows normal age‑appropriate wear but no major dents. Hinges and covers operate properly.Movement:
