I got most of my pocketwatch collection quite a few years ago when they were fetching much lower prices. I picked up an Illinois Sangamo Special in totally mint condition, top of the line with matching stiff bow case and when I bought it , it was the most expensive watch I had ever bought and I though i was crazy spending a grand for it. Now I probably couldn't touch it for 3 grand.

yea the 950 is pretty much mint also. Its so accurate I only set it 2x a year when we change the clocks. It beats out my quartz wristwatches and some pretty high end mechanicals.
