Serial Number 4973042 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Serial #4973042, my Waltham book says 14 size.
model 84, grade 8, sw ls, 7 jewels, Htg. My watch
matches all that info except it is 18 size. Has a
Waltham coin silver hunting case that is original
to the watch. Hope this adds to the data base.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report and images. Based on your uploads, your movement is a Model 1884, which was 14-Size. Waltham did not produce an 18-Size movement in this model.
