This watch has been recently serviced and is running well. The timegrapher photo shows approximately +12 seconds/day, 296° amplitude, and 0.4 ms beat error at the time photographed.
The silver sunburst dial presents very nicely, with applied Arabic numerals at 12, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10, applied hour markers, center seconds, and the classic ELGIN SPORTSMAN 17 signature. A domed acrylic crystal and angular lugs give it a great mid-century appearance.
