Silver Dial South Bend Grade 429 12 Size Pocket Watch

I picked up a rather unusual 12 size South Bend pocket watch a few weeks back.  I managed to pick it up in a lot and this one was the fixer.  In this instance the movement is not what makes this watch unusual but the dial. I never thought of it when I looked at it to begin with.  There were multiple issues to the watch when I got it.  A few rusted screws and a bad mainspring.  It was a risk but the balance was good.  

The dial to the watch is original but when I was cleaning it I found the back markings "Argent 935". 

The dial appears to have been made by a Swiss dial maker out of 935 silver for South Bend. The dial is in great shape for being made in 1923. 

The movement is a good quality 19 jewel 12 size grade 429 that was just cleaned and is in great running condition. 

The case has no brassing and from the way it looks...it is green gold filled.  

While cleaning I went ahead and replaced the crystal and of course the mainspring.  The watch is now very happily ticking along again instead of becoming a parts watch.
