Watch Description

Found this beautiful example of a 1936 Farragut with an awesome period gold filled bracelet.  The watch is a 10KT Yellow Rolled Gold Plate case with the distinctive Farragut dial.    The movement is 7 jewel 6AR with a square date code.  The 7 jewel movement is similar to the others in the database unlike the ads which say 15J.  I have not seen any confirmation of a 7J ad but based on the number of 7J Farragut's in the DB it seems to be a a standard model.  The best part of the watch is this stunning gold filled bracelet which based on the ad seems to be the original.  Unfortunately it is about 1/2 too small from my wrist.
