WALTHAM  "CRESCENT STREET" UP AND DOWN 21 JEWELS----> RARE REPLACEMENT UP AND DOWN DIAL   1915

STOCK NUMBER # WALTHAM70-------Rarely but it happens, a conductor / engineer will drop his watch, it can also fall off the chain and many other reasons may be why the dial cracked, chipped and the watch then needed to be cleaned and free from any debris that could stop the cogs and wheels from keeping perfect time. The engineer would then at the next stop where the county certified railroad pocket watch person would be stationed at, the dial would be replaced and a new one would be sent ASAP but until then the "replacement" dial would be put onto the pocket watch and given back to the conductor or engineer. I have such a piece right here and freshly serviced, oiled and timed to perfection. The dial is a genuine Waltham factory replacement dial made for the American railroad system and as you can see the wind window is very different from the enamel wind window. The hands are thick railroad spade pieces and the crystal is glass and not a flaw to be found. This is a highly sought after dial and with the perfect operation movement it is a killer piece and and a tad on the rare side. These days it is soooo easy to use the word rare but when I tell you "Rare"........ it is! This dial is factory original Waltham. This is a gold filled railroad case and across it is 52mm and this case is gold filled signed "Keystone boss". The serial number for this case is 9,127,129 and made of 10 karat gold filled. This case is immaculate crisp as the scans do not do this pocket watch justice at all. This is a Waltham 16 size stem wind and lever set wind indicator model 1908 21 closely examined and inspected ruby jewels. I will tell you both the balance cap jewels are perfect. Make a note of the center wheel is solid gold.  ruby jewels are all in raised All jewels are in solid raised screw down gold settings. On the barrel bridge it is written "adjusted 5 positions". The serial number for this genuine railroad pocket watch is 20,102,278. On a closing note there are no personal engravings on this case to be found. Serviced, rare dial and ready to go.

When the small hand beneath the 12 position is all the way to "0" this means the mainspring is totally unwound and indicates it must be wound to keep this pocket watch going....this was a key feature for the railroads so they could trust their pocket watch would be spot on day and night.

The serial number on this movement is 1,973,755 and again it tells me produced in the year 1907. By the way I should mention all jewels are genuine Rubies which tells you this really is a top shelf piece.  Notice the large ruby jewel in the center of the motor barrel and yes in a large solid gold jewel setting and held down by three screws.  On the train bridge it is marked "Adjusted, Temperature, 6 positions and isochronism".

ZENITH ULTRA ULTRA PERFECT RARE SIGNED ZENITH CASE 16 SIZE, "RR-56"C.P.R. RAILROAD APPROVED 21 JEWELS NOT A SCRATCH ANYWHERE!!!!!!    1955

SOLD IN 48 HOURS !!!!

Peter Kushnir Was the master time keeper for C.P.R railroads and recently passed away in Montréal (2018)...He told me the entire story of the Zenith RR as he solely was responsible for bringing this piece into Canada for CPR serviced. I wrote a published article about this model and here is a short part of it and it was approved by Peter himself before he passed away... A master has died but his legend is bigger than life!

Re Zenith pocket railroad extra RR ( a short excerpt from my article)

Peter Kushnir former CPR master watchmaker ordered 1000 Zenith pocket watches and were to be delivered to him in 4 months. He designed with Zenith the movement and the dials were to be 500 pieces Montgomery style enamel and 500 pieces Canadian dials  with the 24 hour inner Arabic numbers and those 24 hr dials were sent to the Canadian west coast under the care of Vern Pickersgill I believe Winnipeg Manitoba.
I just was at Peters place (2018 in Montréal Quebec) and we discussed the "RR-56"over an hour about Zenith and how he designed this movement. This is all in short I will be writing a complete essay shortly on the Zenith RR-56 extra pocket watch..

Cheers to all
Darlor watch... Darryl

 For years and years I wanted an up and down Waltham pocket watch as my Grandfather owned one when he worked for C.P.R and he would let me wind it up and  on a side note he knew Mr Kushnir well .

I am amazed how well this pocket watch works! I have had this piece now for two weeks and still keeps perfect time, Thank you for selling this piece to me.

 I will pass this one down for many generations to come.

Sincerely Robert G Williston B.C Canada

(My Reply)

Yes Peter Kushnir and myself were best friends and sadly he passed away aprox 5 years ago and so did copious amounts of knowledge went with him as he was a master's master watchmaker, though he did pass much skills onto myself which has put me over the top and I still miss him and his deep Ukrainian accent.

Be well and healthy in this new year
