I went out this morning wearing my 55 Dennison Omega and came home with an 1888 Waltham as a bonus.

Out strolling with Frau Fritz this afternoon, playing hooky from work. Found this in an antique store for the equivalent of about $120US, an 18 size Waltham in a hardly worn case. I'd have paid the money just for the case but the movement is running strong and keeping good time. I'll get it serviced and fall in love all over again.
The Waltham factory records show this thing going out the door in the fall of 1888. How the hell does something last over 130 years and show so little wear?
