10s Waltham KW - Winding square location

[Don Procko]

I have a 10 size waltham key wind with a rusty movement. Wondering if all models of 10 size Waltham's have the winding arbor in the same place as Id like to replace the movement. Many thanks!

Wow, lucky you! Movements are much easier to find than the cases for these. Of course that's the way it is for most, especially gold, cases. I have the opposite issue. You may have seen my post on the AT&Co. 10s? It's still on my bench awaiting the re-installment of the balance assembly.

Good luck finding a nice movement. They ARE relatively abundant. Not in the nickel plated finish, but gilt are available. I believe that the winding arbor is located in the same spot on the three (?) variants, but I am not certain. Ehrhardt & Meggers's "American Pocket Watches, Identification and Price Guide" shows all types and the arbor looks the same. Cheers.

Thanks, I dont have that text. This case isnt gold but a really nice G W Ladd case, so I guess the next best thing...

I agree.
BTW, the book I mentioned is also known as the "gold book", IIRC, due to the color of the soft cover. I think it's a "must have" for American PW collectors. Cheers.

Discovered that the winding arbors are in ever so slightly different positions. Just an fyi....
