Here is Waltham, Sz 18, C.A. 1885, 7j, Sterling model. Does the dial look authentic?

I would welcome any and all comments about this watch.

Authentic, yes, but correct? By 1885, Waltham had their name on the dial (early A.T. & Co. watches often aren't named.) And the seconds bit is unusual for that date and time, with just the quarter-hours, which are hand-written, and something I personally like - but another sign of an earlier dial.

I believe he dial is correct. Waltham (and other makers) used unmarked dials on their low grade movements. The Sterling and Broadway movements don't say American watch company, just Waltham Mass. Check out dials on Broadway movements as well and you can see unmarked ones.

And I believe what you say, Kevin. I know little about those Waltham grades.

Gentleman, Thanks for the info.

Nice looking Waltham, I think the dial is correct, the hands I think have been replaced.
