Note: This watch belonged to my Grandfather who worked
for the railroad, so it must have been deemed
"railroad grade" for he was part of the train crew

"railroad grade" for he was part of the train crew
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. No, this watch is not adjusted to positions and would not have qualified for railroad service. It is possible your grandfather had a different watch he used for work or was part of the crew that did not require an approved watch.
