1912 Elgin Trench Watch. This is a particularly rare trench watch due to it's larger 0s sized case. It also has a flawless original enamel dial with the original factory drilled lume reservoirs. The watch is fully re-lumed and running beautifully!

Fantastic! That is just beautiful.
Love WWI Trench Watches...
Nice find. Whoever did the re-lume did a nice job, this is defiantly a watch that called for the the lume to have a touch of patina. Love the bund strap also.

Thanks! I have some vintage tint I add to the binder. I find that using the green pigment powder with the vintage tint trends to give the best combination of color and brightness.

All of those trench watches are gorgeous! I love that integrated shrapnel guard on the Waltham, and that Depollier is incredible!

Well let me re-iterate you did a nice job with the lume. You got the right amount of patina and application of the lume looks really consistent and smooth.
