Not wearing it yet, but later today 😊! Acquired on Monday, serviced on Monday, worn on Tuesday. My 1918 Waltham 1892 model, 17-jewels, lever set, double roller, double sunk vitreous enamel 24-hour dial, Canadian Pacific Railway logo on the movement. As near perfect as a 107 year old watch can be. No evidence that it has ever been worked on, before. Mainspring replaced, gold jewel chatons polished, jewels pegged, reconditioned. Three seconds fast this morning. I’m over the 🌕 with it! It will be worn on my @Duracuir1 leather lanyard.

That is fantastic and having worked for CPR for 22 years, I have a real appreciation for RR watches, even though I don't own one 😉 The fact you don't see any servicing marks is curious because it was my understanding that operating personnel had to have their watches at least regulated every year. My recollections might be wrong however. Congrats, it's lovely.
