Can anyone tell me if the hands on this Waltham are original, especially the minute hand.

#3 - It appears the watch has been re-cased.

That looks like a nice Grade 15, 15 Jewel "Adjusted" that was part of a 2500 pc "mixed" run according to the Waltham "Grey Book". The Hands coould all be "original", or true to form. I "pose" a couple similar vintage hand sets . . .

Now going into this a little further, the "Fleur de Lis (Minute on yours) Hands were usually on the "P" (Premium) grades and the light spade (hour on yours) hands on all of the rest of the watches, INCLUDING the "P" grades. The second hand which was probably a replacement anyway (99% were) would fit the small spades. If you look at the pictures below, you will see examples of my reasoning in more detail. i.e. save that nice minute hand and put on a light spade in it's place and the watch should be Fairly "correct".

As an aside, I still havn't the faintest idea what this "Standard" marked Waltham movement is supposed to mean or be!

Nice pair of watches, Dave....

At least the hands match. I guess I'll have to find one or the other to make mine match also....

Thanks for your info.

Jerry, Check with Brian C and see what he has for hands. I bet you could go either way. Let me know if you strike out and I will look in my "stash" too.

Thanks Dave, for the suggestion, Brian C. has the hour hand (Fleur de Liz) and is sending it on Monday.

Thanks again....

Be Well,
Jerry
