Hello everybody;

I thought I'd give you all a peek at my latest find. It's a Waltham 18s Crescent St.

As far as I can tell there were only 500 of these made. At least I hope I read that right.

Thanks for looking, and I hope you like it.

Very nice

Bud I am not sure on the count but that is a nice looking Waltham hunter. Sometimes you can pick up nice ones that seem to slide under the radar. I will pick up open and hunters and that one is a keeper.

congratulations, interesting, if his information of the manufactured quantity will be correct and a pocket watch of great value.

Beautiful watch! I read the info like you mfd.1890-1892 500made yours being the 475th.made.Congratulations on a great find!! Roger

Thanks a lot for all the kind replies. I thought it was a good find based on that criteria only. What I know about pocket watches you could hide under a dime so I have to be pretty careful when buying these things.

I've been collecting pocket watches for only a short time (less than a year) but it's fun buying and selling as I go along.

Your Watch was in run #25 of 42 runs and there were 500 movements made and yours was #476 of the run, however there were 17,200 units of that model and grade made over a 12 year period....

You have a wonderful high grade movement and one you should be proud of to add to your collection....

Congratulations..!

Jerry

Hi Jerry, and thanks very much for the information. I wish I knew where to research this more. I only have the ***** Information Storage thing on the Internet to go on and I must admit I don't even know how to use it properly either.

I am glad to know it's a high grade movement. Maybe I have a good eye, but my brain is way out to lunch just yet Jerry.

Thanks again

Bud
