[QUOTE="buyingtime777, post: 308213, member: 188"]I saw that. There also seems to be something extra at the end of "position". The font on the 19 and the Railway name does not match the font in jewels either. I have seen low jeweled watches where unscrupulous individuals have stamped them with a higher jewel count to fool unsuspecting collectors and the more that I look at this I think someone may have taken a Swiss fake Non Magnetic and stamped the Railway stuff and the 19 themselves and printed on the dial to sell this to some unsuspecting Railroad watch collector for an exorbitant sum at some point. That actually makes the most sense as I couldn't imagine a Swiss fake being made for that short lived rail line at that time. There just wouldn't have been a demand then for a piece from there but there is now and has been for a while.[/QUOTE]
