Folks, I don't get one like this in very often and of all the ones I've had this is far and away the finest....take a hard look at it...Circa 1901, Lever Set, Adjusted to 5 positions, sunken balance, Marked 19 Jewels, RR Grade/Approved this is one of Waltham's most beautiful Model 92s...The 19 Jewel Crescent St.! This was the pinnacle of Waltham's railroad efforts in my opinion...built like a tank....able to withstand severe railroad applications. This is a "real world" railroad built for exacting timekeeping and this is the finest example I've yet had....as good as they get!Case... is a Wadsworth 25 Yr YGF "Pilot" with a beautiful plain polished back. Case looks fantastic. No wear on body, back shows no wear tight bow and take a look at that beautiful crown! New Crystal. This was the top of the line case at the time...they didn't get any better! Beautiful 18S Wadsworth RR Case
Dial... is double sunk Waltham with Arabic numerals. 1 lite hl at 27 that cannot be seen and then only with a loupe in the right light. Super Clean. As nice an example as you'll find...Beautiful original blued spade hands.
Movement... has the beautiful sunken balance, gold starburst regulator,, beautiful screwed down gold jewel settings. Lever set RR version marked "19 Jewels". Running and timing well, was put on timing machine and running within 20 sec per day. Ready to show and enjoy, and believe me you will want to show this one off! Winds as smooth as butter, as these in like new condition should. The 19J 1892 model versions are much harder to come by.
Folks, this, in my opinion, was one of Waltham's most beautiful movements. If you're wanting a scarcer lever set marked 19 Jewel Crescent St. in your collection, this is certainly one to consider...as nice as you'll ever find. I'll put this up against any railroad watch ever made...and you'll certainly get no argument from a knowledgeable collector...as being one of the best ever made. You'll be hard pressed to find another in this condition, (and as we know condition is everything)...for any amount of money. Beautiful 18S 19 Jewel Crescent St. in excellent condition with that gorgeous Wadsworth Case!.......$OLD
