While I wait for some parts to arrive, I thought I’d shoot some glamour shots of a couple of my pocket watches. Working on these is what got me started in the whole custom watch building thing. #watchmaking
@mikeflstfi Are those railroad cert watches? Are they crown adjust or lever? The bezels look screw-on, which was required for railroaders
They are very nice Elgins!
@kismatt
The BW Raymond is railroad grade, yes. It is lever-set, 21-jewel, and 8 adjustments.
The other is a 7-jewel, everyday sort of watch. Both do have screw on bezels, though.
Here's a pic of the movement of the BW Raymond.

@mikeflstfi they are both great restorations, and that Raymond is gorgeous!!!
lol makes me want to go haunt antique shops :D
@kismatt
I have a Waltham 7j also that’s currently torn down for service. Hopefully, I’ll get it going again soon.
And yes, the BW Raymond is choice. As are all railroad grade watches.
