Hello Johnny:

There are two examples of Eaton's 16 size Gallet Brothers 21 jewel railway watches posted on my Canadian private label thread. Would love to see a photo of your 18 size, over there.

Hi Johnny, Welcome to our "bunch"!

Just about the ONLY reason you watch would not qualify for Canadian RR use would be if it is Hunter-Cased and had to face a stubborn RR watch inspector.

Please show us some pictures, especially of the movement.

Just as an example, I have a RR grade 17 Jewel Eaton. It has yet to be cleaned and identified as to Mfr.

Thank you for your picture will try to put my 21j open face 5 pos gallet watch on.Yes i beleive the watch was accepted by canadian rr to use by its members.Like i said it has a canadian 24 hr dial.johnny
