Serial Number 8344078 was reported as inaccurate.
Note: The book that was used to source information on
this specific run is full of inaccuracies, and has
been proven so. Is there any newer books that may
help out us new collectors of pocket watches in
getting accurate information on our acquisitions?

Curator Response: The "Gray Book" used to source the information was published by the Waltham Watch Company in the 1950s. While it contains inaccuracies, this is still the best resource for identifying Waltham watches from this era. This information, including notes about possible inaccuracies, is displayed on the source research pages previously linked: https://pocketwatchdatabase.com/guide/company/waltham/source/waltham-gray-book-serial-list/42. The "Seaside" runs are notorious for being mixed with different variants. However, it is easy to identify jewel counts and setting mechanisms for identification. You do not need a book or a database to do this.
