Waltham Vanguard Pocket Watch Model 1908 23 Jewel 24 Hour Dial GF Fortune Case
Posted by in waltham
Waltham Vanguard Model 1908 from 191516 size 23 jewel adjusted 6 positions serial # 20037984 in a Fortune GF OF #16 in a circle symbol serial #1382285. Note brassing on case and hairline at 5. I have no service history other than I have run it through an ultrasound and oiled the necessary locations. It winds and ticks for up to 40 hours but requires adjusting for optimum performance. I picked this up filthy and not operational but a good cleaning and addressing what was stopping the movement resulted in an operational watch. I have repaired the main spring and crystal. I noted the balance wheel serial differs from the movement so it was a previous repair. Note there is slight brassing of the case and hairlines at 5. This is a mechanical pocket watch not a quartz so keep in mind they are not the same for accuracy. I have dozens of watches like this that I will be listing as I finish working on them. I will get this to the post usually same day but up to 3 days depending on weekends/ holidays/ bad weather. Canada Post has labour disruptions which I have no control over but currently they are operating business as usual.
