A question for the Waltham experts "Click" to Login or Register 
posted
I picked up a 12 size Waltham 19j model 1894 (from listing) that has tu-tone blocks in the middle and is marked Premier. It is marked adjusted, but I think that is for temp/iso. Most Waltham 12 size I know of are just nickel with dmk effect, anything special about this or just one I have not seen before?

This one is movement/dial/hands only so the case probably went off to the scrapper but it is a unique looking movement, very fancy with a lot of eye appeal.

SN 24933121 listing says it is a grade 239, it is also marked "Jeweled Main Wheel". It may not be a Riverside Maximus but it is a sharp looking movement.

These are great little watches. They may say they are only adjusted to temp/iso... but they will keep RR time with only a little tlc.

I have a dozen or so of the colonials... and none with two tone. I had not seen them before either.
