Note: I dont own this watch (movement serial no 3718007)
but its size is believed to be 18 by the seller.
Your site describes it as 1s, which i think is a
typo, as dont think Waltham made a 1s...???
regards JM
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. Waltham serial ledgers designate this run as a 1s "B. Royal" movement. Please double-check the serial number and verify you are searching the correct manufacturer. Feel free to upload an image of the movement to your collection for further evaluation. Followup: I believe I found the eBay auction listing for the watch in question (Serial #3718007) and can confirm the movement is a 1s size marked "American Waltham Watch Co." [eBay #302721675266]
