Sorry, no pictures. I'm looking at a watch whose movement is identical to movement in upper left corner of pg 141 in '06 price guide, Model #1874. Watch has upper date of Oct. 3 1876 and Sept. 28, 1880. On movement is pat pinion and under balance, Woerds patents. S#1787627
Dial A.W.Co Waltham. Arabic #'s with three dividing marks between each minute. Corresponding numerical #'s on outer edge from 5-60. Hr, Mn, second hands are blue. Large sweep hand which moves one minute per revolution of seconds hand. Button on side resets this hand to 12.
Case is A W Co 14kt gold. Box hinged heavy engraved hunter. #'s match Watch appears to be near mint. Can you identify this watch in price guide? Value? Thanks Bob

Sounds like a nice watch.... hard to tell for sure without a picture of the movement..The picture on page 141 it is a chronpgraph movement what sounds good is the 14 k original case..
Samie, Thanks for all your efforts. From your pictures and the location of the serial#, etc I believe it is a Model 1874. The front of the case appears like the one in picture 8019 except HC. I was told this watch is a 15J, split second, min regulator, which according to guide is a valuable watch. Thanks again.

Watch 8120 in the illustrations is a simple chronograph in a hunting case. It has neither a split nor a register. The value difference is around 30x between the simple chrono and the split with register.
Tom is right i have only saw 1 split second with the minute register and they are rare.. but any Waltham chronograph in the original 14k case is nice..
