Elgin Movement Grade List or off the menu above.
This list has been created from Elgin’s Service Bulletins and exisiting serial number lookup databases, I will not be creating another serial number lookup as there are numerous sites already.
Jeff Sexton’s site at elgintime.com – Jeff has been updating his database over time and has also started to include wristwatch grades into his database, so I consider it the more accurate database on the net currently and it can only get better with time.
Wayne Schlitt’s site at elginwatches.org – This is the oldest database online but I’m unsure if it has been updated with recent knowledge.
About Bloody Time
All puns intended, I finally decided instead of trying to do the endless big content authoring, I would let this site start with nothing and grow on its own time.
This site will focus on the history, achievements, people and products of the Elgin National Watch Company.
I invite you to embark on this journey of re-discovery of what has already been lost to time.
