When dating a Waltham always ask for the movement number. The case number people use means nothing. Also pay attention to size and that it is truly solid gold. The movement is pictured above and points to an 1887 manufacture date. It is a full size Hunter Case 55mm. It is a heavy watch and is solid 14kt.Importantly there are no apparent flaws. It runs fantastic for a watch of this era keeping great time. No dents, chips or cracks on the dial or the crystal. They look impeccable and the dial is original. Notice the close up of the second dial in the 4th picture and how perfect it is.I had it serviced after sitting silent for over 80 years. Not much had to be done, just demagnetized. It's as perfect as you can get. This watch belonged to my 94 yr old Stepfather's Grandfather.As you will certainly notice there are no numbers on the face. The words "Robert Archer" make up the numbers. Robert Archer was a founding employee of what was to become AT&T. Both his son and Grandson followed in his footsteps and worked for AT&T. This is a peice of history from a person who knew Alexander Graham Bell and worked to make AT&T a reality... Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to see other photos.AS an FYI. The best way to open the watch is to depress the Stem and the watch face will open. When setting the time you need to pull out the hidden metal piece placed near the the 2 and 3 o'clock hour or in this case by the "R&T". When set, slide the metal back in place. When closing the watch face depress the winding stem again and gently place the front gold lid back in place then take your thumb off the stem.Another word of caution. If you are traveling with this piece, do not go through a body scanner at an airport. It will magnetize the mainspring and the watch will not work correctly. Place it in a bin under the X-ray machine and it will be fine.
