That truly was a wonderful journey. Thank you for walking me through it. I inherited a Waltham pocket watch from my grandfather, who received it from his own father when he were but a wee lad. From memory there's an inscription on the case interior that's dated to 1905 or so (though how long prior to that it was manufactured and sent out to Victoria is anyone's guess. I recall hearing that my great grandfather used to smuggle watches over the Murray River border between Victoria and NSW pre-Federation when the states were separate colonies). It's been sitting in a shoe box in my wardrobe for decades. Should I be looking out for a particular serial number?
