Serial Number 17085182 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: I bought Waltham 17085182 today thinking it was
railroad grade. It IS a lever set watch. This
lists it as pendant set. Definitely a lever set.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. Yes, if the watch is lever-set, it would have qualified for railroad service.
