$30 Waltham Wrist Watch - Should I Get It?


Recommended Posts

I found a Waltham wrist watch today at and antique shop for $30 no band.

I have added a photo I found online that is similar to (but is NOT) the one I found. The watch I found has a smooth, gold case.

 

#24782295

15 Jewels

10K Filled Gold Case

 

The dial is in bad shape (worse than the one in the photo).

The movement is running.

 

Do you think it is a good buy?

I think it probably is, but I wanted to make sure the dial could be restored before I bought it.

 

The shop had several Waltham, Elgin, and Hamilton wrist watches and an Omega. I wish I know more about Omega. The folks at the shop were not able to open the watches for me...I anticipated that and took along my case opener, but I wasn't about to mess with the Omega and it looked as if it takes a special opener anyway. The Waltham was the only one I opened.

 

Thanks!
