I'm using a watch I've been wanting for ages, a 16s 23 jewel Waltham Vanguard.I was lucky enough to win a real nice one on the big auction site.This is an earlier one, 11 million SN. Has a DS Montgomery dial ,and lives in a YGF Keystone case. Hard to beat a Waltham railroad watch!

Just picked up another nice carry watch.This one is a 16s Ball "Garland" by Record .17 jewel bridge movement gr.433.Has a bold Montgomery dial, original Keystone RGP case that shows some miles but still looks good. Not a railroad Ball but a nice accurate watch.

Just recently got 2 new Rockfords, switching between them.One is a beautiful 16s 17j 675 I got from member Kevin Moodie, sharp looking lever set street railway grade.The other is an 18s private label 17j 930, with a Montgomery dial.Gorgeous movement marked Wm. Potts Jeweler, Adena Ohio. Both run great and keep good time.
