4 generations and 2 wars in the family... Not sure how it stays as is because neither my father nor I ever sent it to restore. I had the movement cleaned and serviced 2 years ago. Everyone that's owned it is gone so i can't ask and my mother doesn't know much about it. Waltham America. Supposedly 1912 to 1917. A "Trench Watch" as they where called on 1st World war. The family folklore says it was on my great grandad during first world War, on my grandad during the Spanish civil war and in fathers sock drawer during the cold war . As I used to joke they must have all worked in the mail room during the wars. ( well, that's not true at least of.my grandad but look at the watch for Petes sake! Maybe he also had it in a cabinet somewhere but it's not an expensive or precious watch so why hide it? Keeps perfect time and I love it! Also the movement has a very specific sound to it that I find comforting. Anyway, as you can read, it has a lot of sentimental value.
, It's not the poor ATs fault - if ever there was an occasion for a speedy (other than actually launching) I think that's it....
