The next target will be a railroad watch. Try to find a Waltham Vanguard, it's railroad grade. Waltham had a position in U.S. industrialization process of 19th century. The story says one founder of factory, Dennison, visited Springfield Armory frequently, and was inspired by the way of musket was made. He wanted to setup a factory to make watches with inter-exchangeable parts.

I heard Waltham made 35 million PWs. So it's still very available on the open market. There are Vanguard in NIB condition,,,, I just need to wait one. Also, Waltham factory building has been preserved. I am not sure it's opening for visitor or not. Will find out.
