I have a couple nice 23 jewel Waltham up down indicators both 16 size 23 jewel Walthams in original 14K gold cases. One is 5 adjustment and the other is a 6 adjustment. But my question is about the dial. Look closely at the indicator on the dial. Does anyone know the low down on this.

This one is like most I have seen

Ok this one is different than most I have seen

Here is another one rob similar too the frist one you posted.model 1908 23 jewel vanguard.some were montgomery dials also have seen them in painted metal.

Ya but was the second one a 36 hour verses a 24 hour like the first.

Rob never noticed that all these i think would run 40 hours hmmm don,t know maybe someone else does.I did notice on the 36 hour version the 24 hour is marked wind i have heard and i think most everone wound these watches once each day.

Robert, I've never seen the second dial. Very handsome example .

Rob, I have a wi in a Roy 14k case with the same dial as the second one in your photo/post. I have seen one other one as well. Is your second pictured watch in a gold case?

Mike

Yes both of these are

Rob:

Here is one of mine in a 14K case with a Canadian 24-hour dial.

Wow Larry what a pretty dial i like that.

Thanks Samie, it's one I liked to, I saved the watch from going to the scrappers a couple of years ago. Here is one of the Wind Indicator dials in metal that you mentioned.

Larry

Here is an advertisement from an August, 1914 Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen convention. That was held in Calgary, Alberta. It shows the second type of Wind Indicator dial.

Larry great articles i sent on of the metal dials like you posted too International dial for a refinish and it looks great when i got it back..I have a metal dial made for the Elgin indicators.

Thanks for the information Samie, how much did they charge you?

Larry

Larry 37.50 plus shipping .
SAMIE

Samie that sounds well worth it. Here's another Canadian wind indicator that I bought from a Locomotive Engineer I used to work with on the CPR. He hired on around 1946, and told me he got this watch from his uncle.

Larry what a beautiful watch and that picture is outstanding ..The 24 Dials on the canadian watches are i think the best looking dials ever put on a railroad watch.
