Elgin Waltham Cross Reference


Recommended Posts

Hi

Using pocketwatchdatabase.com It is pretty easy to cross reference parts for Elgin watches. Are parts interchangeable between different watchmakers? (IE: Elgin - Waltham , Elgin - Illinois, Waltham - Illinois Etc). Would this manual help?  "Swigart Illustrated Manual of American Watch Movements".

American pocket watch companies primarily made all of their components themselves. This means that as far as I know nothing interchanges with other companies. Even their screws they made themselves the thread sizes are all different.
