This watch is cased in it’s original, quality Nickel/Silver case (unsigned) identified by it’s unique large pin set, screw on back and snap-on front bezel. Case wear is low for the age with minor, normal surface scratches and marks, but general appearance is well above average. Case diameter is large for a 14 size at approx. The watch winds, sets and runs strong and is keeping good time, as it has been recently serviced. The visually clean, full plate gilt movement appears all original. It’s signed’A. Waltham Mass”Bond St.’Safety Pinion’ and serial number’2961283′, dating it to approx. The Roman Numeral indices, porcelain dial has a sub second hand at 6 o’clock and is signed’A. W. Co’, which is correct for this movement and is hand painted. It is in excellent shape, with one barely visible hairline crack, but no chips. The beveled, bowed glass crystal is HUGE and in equally clean, original condition. This is a very solid watch and running strong…. And if you’ve been looking for a pin set 14 size to complete your collection, you’ll be happy to add this to your collection… You won’t be disappointed!
