Note: Hi, not wrong, but additional nuance. In 2018
Complete Price Guide, Waltham size 16 movements
shown on page 140. The three variations shown for
'Model 1899 or Model 1908' are: first, escape
wheel has own unique bridge and Waltham type
regulator with little star wheel = open; second as
escape wheel not a unique bridge and Waltham star
regulator = hunting; third as not a unique bridge
and a different regulator adjustment type
(tension?) = open. I have a FOURTH variation as
escape wheel has own bridge, and regulator is side
pressure spring, as shown in their 'Model 16-A'
illustration = open. The illustration you show
matches the one they list as hunting variation,
but of course we're discussing RR model use, so
open face variation. Thank you so much for what
you've provided here!!! Anyway one could purchase
a copy of your database, in case Heavan forbid?
Scotty Dean
Curator Response: Mr. Dean - Thanks for your report. As you mention, Waltham utlized a vareity of plate cuts and regulators during the production of the Model 1899/1908. The regulator you describe is consistent with the late-production Vanguard movements.
