Here’s the dial of one of my other railroad pocket watches. The movement is a 19 jewel Bunn, made by the Illinois Watch company around 1912.
This dial is what is known as a Montgomery dial as each minute is numbered around the edge of the dial.

I don't ask if it's working, as the time the watch shows on your photo seems to be the time when you took the image.
Given the age of the watch, it still looks great.
There's something that was floating around in my head since you posted your other railroad watch: if they stop working, do you repair them yourself?

I don't have the tools or training to repair them myself. There aren't many who still work on watches that old and they don't come cheap.
My late 19th century Marine Chronometer.
The hands are gold and the balance endstones are diamond.
On a side note, I saw all four of John Harrison's Chronometers in a special exhibit at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich in 2014. All four were running.

Nice colour!
I also like the frills around the edges of the petals.
