Mike HodgeWaltham question
I have this Waltham SN 8492212 that the database tells me is a 6s, 1890, Seaside.  It also identifies it as Open Face which it was not originally.  I have tried to find a set of hands for this but the ones I got from a member do not fit because the minute hand is covered on the end by the bezel.  The bezel is original to the case which is a nice Coin Silver with inlays on the back.  The measurement from the center to the inside edge of the bezel is .62 in., 15.74 mm.  It's kind of a neat and unusual watch and I would like to fit it with hands to get it ready to sell.

Mike HodgeThe back of the case.  Since I took these "before" photos I  cleaned the case and dial and this is an attractive watch.
