Other: This rare Elgin Galaxie was acquired directly from a former employee of the Elgin Watch Company and appears to be unworn.

This watch wears extremely well on the wrist and much larger than 34mm with its cool case shape. A retro stainless steel mesh bracelet pulls everything together to form a well-balanced aesthetic.
