Watch Buying
cAdvice

Intelligent watch-buying
requires judgment on your
| part in two things, the case
and the works.
These two items that con-
stitute a watch are obtained
by the jeweler from two
factories that are unrelated.
The works are fitted into
the cases by the jeweler and
the price of the completed
| watch depends on the cost
! OF the two.
Thus, you can buy a very
fine case containing cheap
movement, and think you
are getting a bargain, or
you may buy cheap case
containing a fine movement
and be deceived again.
1t is the proper combln-
! alton of the two that makes
\ the watch of worth.
No Watch Deception at
