Bila WirriganwaltersHi Peter,
Your are right by saying it looks like a size 12, I have four of these watches,some ar marked Colonial A & Colonial Riverside, the database is incorrect, they are definately size 12. Also, they do not fit into a normal size 12 case, if memory serves me correctly they are slightly larger by a millimeter.
Best Regards,
Bila

Peter KaszubskiThank you Bila.
I will post pictures later.
BTW what data base are you talking about?
February 18, 2012, 20:09
Bila WirriganwaltersThe database I am talking about is the one Harry mentioned in his early post, the "Waltham Serial Look-up" site, if you tpye this into Google it will be the search link first or second down on the page. Please be aware that there is possible descrepenciesin in the information as you have found with this watch. We must remember that these databases take up an enormous amount of time to set-up and mistakes do get made.
Best Regards,
Bila
