This beautiful grade 454 professional railroad grade Father Time is of one of the highest grades in the family.  The Father Time model was meant to be a less expensive watch compared to the ones marked B.W. Raymond.  But the real truth is that, very little is different, other than less decoration from what I can see.  It's a solid railroad watch with a near perfect porcelain dial with no hairlines or cracks noted.  The case is in great condition with no brassing noted and a great factory design on the back with no personal engravings.  It's the Pilot case, which is a really durable one.  Take a look at the pride of ownership and the service record, one of the best I've seen.  When we purchased the watch, I inspected it and it looked like is was just overhauled and it's keeping near perfect time.
