A club member sent this to me explaining it would not wind. After replacing a broken click wheel screw, cleaning and adjusting it, it refuses to deviate more than a second or so per day.

Words cannot properly give credit to the high quality skilled workmanship that the Waltham crew imparted on these fine WWI era jeweled Motor Barrel, double roller Railroad movements.

I can vouch for Dave on the accuracy of these 19J Riversides, mine is as accurate as a quartz watch.It never needs resetting as long as I don't forget to wind it.Easily one of the most under-appreciated RR watches!

I read somewhere that Waltham considered the 19j Riverside to be the best running watch they made.
