Here is nice watch a Waltham 18 size model 1883 railroad king special 17 jewel hunting case listed as a 2 star watch.

dial marked for railroad service

nice movement

another movement picture showing the marking better

Is that listed on eBay? I think the dial says "For R. R. Service". The 2013 big book shows this at $600.00-$800.00.

I would estimate that "book" value at 1/4-1/2 the collectible value.

David no it is not on ebay it is in my safe.

Really nice watch Samie..I have been looking for a Special Railroad King movement for several years..I have dial, case, and hands just need a movement..Maybe someday..Until then I will just enjoy looking at yours..

Very nice

Glad to know it is in good hands.

I'm somewhat relieved to scroll to the end of the posting and find out that you're not offering it for sale, Samie, as I think I might dig deep for that one! Very nice!

I was looking at my Walthams 2 days ago and found my Special Railroad King. I will try to post pictures over the weekend. I forgot I had it and Samie deserves my thanks for reminding me of how nice the movement looks!

Nice watch, Samie! Thanks for the pictures.
