·I remember when I first went to an NAWCC mart in the mid 1980s, I could buy a running 1883 Waltham for about $20.00 U S. I used them for the parts. Nowadays, a nice “frostie” like @Fritz ’s goes for a respectable dollar. I have three 1883s. Two private labels, one for Joseph Pequegnat of Guelph, Ontario, and one for G W Beall of Lindsay, Ontario. The Beall movement is marked for the Canadian Railway Time Service. The third one is a Canadian Pacific Railway marked movement.
CPR or Time Service fall into the hen's teeth category. While I've seen them before they really are hard to get enough of, so pictures please!
I have a reprint of a 1901 Eaton catalog, I was amused to see a CPR Waltham listed with the other railroad grade watches in the jewelery section. So perhaps they weren't as special as we all think. Or... perhaps Waltham was unloading the older '83 CPR marked movements as the model 92s were out by then.
anyway... here's my model 92 CPR.

·First day it’s not raining here so I decided with a slim dress watch. By the way I bought this off my friend a few years ago he threw in a strapcode bracelet I have to say they seem well made and look pretty nice

Not wearing these today, but pictures requested, so here they are. The 1892 CPR and the 1908 CPR Inthink, are harder to find than the 1883.

maybe wrong crown, maybe not?
I’d like to change it to the clover crown but don’t know how to open this case
once case is open, I probably can try the stem and crown replacement
not sure snap on or front open, please advise, would be greatly appreciated

·It’s been a while since I posted on the forum, and just sitting in the garden at the end of the thought I’d take a quick photo of my Tudor GMT which has become pretty much my daily wearer.
My priorities have changed somewhat and we are probably going to be moving to be nearer my eldest son and family, especially our now two year old grandson. I have come to realise that I only really wear the Tudor and the old UG which belonged to my dad, the rest sit in the safe most of the time. With this in mind I am thinking of moving on my ST1 and my 105003-65, not 100% sure on the 65 but as they say watch this space, (if I can put together a decent post in private sales!)
Anyway nice to have browsed through WRUW for the first time in a long time.
The Moretti was good!

··Most fun screen name at ΩFI post this watch a lot because I wear it it a lot. This Hamilton chrono and a Khaki are my fearless daily watches; both are super legible, no nonsense working guy watches.
