We all know, that things just aren't made like they were 116 years ago. Well, when it comes to watches, that couldn't be more true, especially pocket watches. This is a top grade Waltham Vanguard with the highest number and most sought after number of Jewels (23). This particular grade movement was very low production considering how many pocket watches were being produced during this time period. Also, this is the first time I offer a salesman pocket watch. So all this means is that salesmen for the company would carry them to show jewelers whom may be interested in carrying the brand. Please note that this watch has been professionally re-cased. The special thing about a salesman's watch is that it is the only vintage / antique pocket watch with a legitimate display back. The display back was there to easily show off the quality of the movement. Like the gold set screwed in jewels and hand decoration. And let me tell you, I love it. If you don't own a salemen piece, this is a great example, near mint, with no notable flaws. Recently serviced and keeping great time. Very nice engraving work on the gold filled case. Overall, an excellent choice to add to a collection or for a special gift. Thank you for looking.
