<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 3348934, member: 360&quot;]I must&#039;ve seen thousands of antique hunter-case watches in the 20-odd years that I&#039;ve been into them, and I&#039;ve hardly EVER seen any with the dial oriented to have 12 o&#039;clock under the crown - the way that most modern hunter-watches are set up.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen ONE OR TWO, so I knew they existed, but that was only ever somewhere on the internet - never in person! They&#039;re so rare, I never thought I&#039;d ever see one. So when I saw this, I had to have it!</p><p><br /></p><p>Incidentally, the serial-number on my watch, when entered into online serial-number databases, lists the watch as:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Model 1908, made in 1919. Open-face orientation&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>So I&#039;m thinking that this watch was originally an open-faced movement set into a hunter-style case. But that said, I can&#039;t imagine that this was a common occurrence. Like I said, I&#039;ve hardly ever seen it. If I saw 100 antique hunters, I&#039;d say that 99 of them have the more traditional 3 o&#039;clock orientation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
