NO RESERVE >>>  Please read the complete listing before you make your bid. Thank you. I am always trying to offer the nicest vintage watches here on eBay. I bought out an estate of a pocket watch and Railroad collector and this Waltham watch was in his collection. I think this is an unusal Waltham model as it is a 19 jewel 5 adjust and has the model name Astronomical Sidereal. Looking at the Shugart book this watch has a 3 star rarity rating and it is as special as I thought it might be. I was also impressed with the heavy Fahys Coin Silver No. 1 case. It has a patent date Feb. 19th 1884 and is marked "No. 1" on the inside of the lid. The SIGNED movement is a beauty. Nicely damaskeened and has gold jewel settings and screwed chatons. Fancy Patent regulator and a Breguet hairspring and lever set. Serial # 19,001,005 dates this Sidereal watch to 1913. There were only 325 of this model watch ever made!!! This watch is wound tight and the screw holding the winding wheel is missing. The SIGNED dial is very clean. It has LARGE & BOLD Arabic hour markers against a crisp white dial. Almost perfect SIGNED dial. Looks to be a Railroad grade watch to me as it is also lever set. It has a clean thick glass crystal in great condition. This RARE Waltham watch is Sold for repair. Please bid accordingly as there is no return on this 105 year old watch. I am selling it as-is and as found. Sold as you see it pictured here. I sell all my watches as-is and as found. Please check my feedback and bid with confidence. I have many repeat and happy customers.  <<<< NO RESERVE >>>>
