Claude GriffithA question for the Waltham experts
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?

Gary E. CochranGood question Claude...I have two of them and they are in 18 KT. White Gold Filled Premier cases..Got them in a group of watches I bought a while back..Pretty little watches...I was wondering about them myself..

Claude GriffithThis 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.

Claude GriffithSN 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.

Paul D. TrombleyThese 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.
