Message:: [QUOTE="Gus Tuason, post: 4446609, member: 10012"]Size is measured by the width of the movement, not the case. It's probably an 18 size. It's a quality watch but not a railroad watch. Dates to 1898. Has 17 jewels with  no adjustments. Double sunk face in excellent condition. Coin silver = 90% silver. Crystal is noticeably scratched/foggy but is probably original. "B. W. Raymond"  was was one of the founders of the Elgin Watch Co. It is probably lever set, stem wind. It's a nice watch and worth having it cleaned and the X'l replaced from new/old stock. Retail on this watch would be between $200 to $300 so be careful of repair costs.[/QUOTE]
