Hi Folks I have a Waltham 16s, s/n:19753302, model 1908, grade - Traveler with gold kite hour and minute hands. The second hand is blue steel. Are these original hands, or would the hands have been all blue steel. I have attached a pic Gordon | |||

I have not seen these hands on export models before. Most English-style Walthams that I have seen used simpler spade hands. I am not saying, though, that they might not be original. How about hearing from some of our British members? What hands do you usually see on the export models? | ||||

Those hands work well with the block printed Roman Numerals. Nice Watch! My guess is a Jeweler added them, as my Waltham parts catalogs only show those available for 12 size PW's. | |||

Hi Jerry and David Thanks for your replies. It seemed to me that these hands would be more likely to be on a fancy watch. I have a similar Elgin of the same period which has all blue steel spade hands. David I would have to agree with you that these kite/diamond hands are common to 12s, especially Illinois pws.

As I was rummaging today, I bumped into a couple travelers, both Dennison-Cased. The more interesting one is the Demi-cased watch . . . | |||

Because this has to have the Double-Spade Demi Hour Hand. Waltham expertts, did Waltham provide these Hour Hands in 1902? | |||
