It varied over the years Francis Confused . Do you have the Fat Book? Wink It has quite a few pages of specs and models of railroad approved watches. Eek It is really like a bible for watch collectors, filled with information, and can be bought cheaper from Lindell or Debbie at IHC185 than anywhere else Big Grin

Thank you gentleman, for your awesome advice. Bob Murry sent me thru a Santa Fe Railway hand book with the Spec required by the Railway Department.... I do have to get one of those books. At them moment I only need basic information to inform some one there listing was incorrect in EBay and there watch was NOT railroad class.Once again thanks Every one.....
