Waltham big silver pocket watch arrived. It’s a Model 1877, different than what I thought. But it’s nice and fat and heavy, few hairlines but in really good shape for watch from 1880s and running well keeping time.
So it’sa keeper!

Purchased on Instagram from a seller I haven't personally dealt with. Seems legit. Paypal G&S was method. Watch located in Switzerland. All original except crystal. Fingers crossed!
Let us know 😵💫
This will be either really good or really bad. 😀 Just short of $900 shipped from Argentina to USA.
Arrived today and pretty much exactly as I'd hoped. Dial is a great gray fume with a hammered texture. Need a couple of bracelet extenders, but not to shabby for $50 all in.
I'm out of the market for the time being

After a lengthy shipping delay it has just arrived. This is absolutely stunning and in mint condition in person. There are zero flaws on the beautiful gilt dial and the lume is bright orange all around. I also happen to have a lead for the original crystal. Impulse buy turns into one of my best acquisitions of all time.🥰
Gorgeous watch, though I believe someone polished the case back with that horizontal brushed pattern—can’t imagine why. The case back should be shiny. I wouldn’t sweat it though!
I noticed this too but it is still very sharp with all lettering well outlined
It actually kind of looks like an amateur took steel wool to it. Maybe some day you will find a replacement case back. Thank goodness they did not do the same to the rest of the case!
