Yes, just part of my mental 'adjustment' and the 'good-bye' I had to say to the Ed White that got away... I've been looking for one of these at a decent price, and naturally, it popped up the same day I jumped on your two beauties..
...it's also what happens to me when I start 'looking around' too much!!
Late afternoon switch to a new arrival, from about 1927...Tiffany Longines 14K white gold (so is the amazing bracelet)...This appears to have spent most of its life stored away, I think.

Lovely watch; reminds me of my grandfather's old watch which still runs.
Just got my first pocket watch:
According to the serial number, I believe it was made around 1909.
Here's my Waltham 1894 in 14k that I picked up for 100 bills around 20 years ago in an antique shop.
Incidentally, I just entered your watch into a query on the NAWCC-info.org site, and it called yours a model 1897. I'm not sure but perhaps the model number is the year in which they started production.
Even though I've had this watch for a while, I'm quite clueless about them!
