Is This For Real?
 

Good question.

It's the first I've ever seen.

I have seen a lot of phony or counterfeit stuff with Parker logos of various designs so your guess is as good as mine.

looks good even if its fake or real... interesting time piece.... charlie

I see no way to document this item as "real". Even if the watch is old, the dial face could have been faked. Much as I would like to think such a thing is a Remington collector piece, I will succumb to lack of interest. However, the seller seems to be reputable, so if you send money, you will probably get a watch in the mail. If you examine his recent sales or offerings, you will discover that he is apparently MAKING these watches. Good for him. At least he isn't starting his auctions at $35,000.

Looks that way Bill. Would anything authentic be marked "Parker - Remington" ??

These Westclox watches were usually seen on a cardboard with over a dozen of them on the same display in country stores. They were called "dollar watches." I still have one of them I used to carry, and yes they were made in the USA. Westclox also made your wind-up alarm clocks.

The internet, for what it is worth, said Westclox made these watches from 1899 until the 1990s. I doubt they changed the design over the last fifty plus years so anything is possible for a watch known as a "dollar watch."

What seems odd is why would a guy in the Midlands of the UK be faking a watch with a gun that is hardly known over there. I spent 25 years going back and forth and only met a few gun people who knew much at all about Parkers, and claimed they never saw very many.

Maybe its not as hardly known as we think

It's an absolute fake, these style watched have been floating around with various logos on the face for years. The first ones I ever saw had Coca Cola logos, then it was Winchester, then it was Boy Scout, now it's everything under the sun. I know a guy who has the computer program to made the paper decal for the dials.

In about 80 years it will be very collectible from the turn of the centry...(-:
