We came across this little Waltham in sad shape at a antiques barn about a month back. Movement shot, crystal broken, all that was going for this watch was its case and remarkably its immaculate dial. You tend to see a lot of large numeral dials in its 16 size sibling, not in a small size like this. Upon a close look, the 19 jewel movement that was powering this watch at one time was not too far gone and just needed a lot of care. Now back to its former glory this watch is ready once again to impress its new owner.
