Waltham 18s Pocket watch Help
Here's a couple of picks of an old waltham pocket watch a freind gave me, He knows I love watches, But I'm not familiar with pocket watches and can't really find out much about it. Any help would be great...Age of production and so forth. :) thanks everyone! The back case also has a locomotive on it, My real question is would it be worth restoring? At the moment I think the mainspring is toast, it just winds and winds :(

George Daniels Watchmaking
Just as a heads-up for those not aware, the new edition of Watchmaking by George Daniels is out and available-my copy just arrived from Amazon a little while ago. This is a must-have reference for anyone interested in the technical aspects of horology, as it essentially shows from scratch how to fabricate every part of a watch. Even if you never plan on doing so, it will give you a greater appreciation for what all goes into making your watches tick. George Daniels is arguably the greatest living watchmaker, and this book is a must-have for your library. Mine was $69 delivered from Amazon. Don't wait, as this time next year you'll probably be lucky to find one for under $100.

DSOTM Strap fitment
So I'm two weeks into my DSOTM journey. After getting it on the tang buckle strap, I also added the deployant strap because people raved about it, and I also am a fan of the setup.I seem to be plagued with one of THOSE wrists, which is precisely in-between sizes on the strap. With 3 holes remaining, it is so loose it literally spins freely around my wrist. If I move it one more hole, it is so tight it causes me pain and digs into my wrist in such a way it hits some nerve and makes my hand tingle and burn. There is no in-between: I can either have it flop around me or cause me to be in agony.I've been opting for the flopping-around, but I'm not really happy with that solution. What do others do? It really seems they placed those holes too far apart. Has anyone ever punched one in-between? I know it may seem like sacrilege, but if it's between destroying a $300 strap but being then able to enjoy a $12,000 watch, it seems like its worth it.

Is 5990/1A a legitimate Nautilus?
I was always wanting to acquire a 5990/1A to complete my Nautilus collection as I have Nautilus obsession. And my AD called me yesterday to let me know I can have one in about two months also. He's nice enough to let me in to try on the one they have to be delivered to another client(I am the next!). The watch is cool, feels flatter than my 5980 and larger (due to a slimmer bezel?). I think I won't have any doubt if I am first time Nautilus buyer. But there are two issues bothering me: 1.somehow because of the dial color and design, it makes me think 5990 is an aquanaut instead. 2. This watch has no visible screw holes on both ears---two dual time pushers on the left side, two chrono pushers on the right side. This completely changed the look of 5990 for me, making me doubt if it is still a Nautilus. Folks, what are your thoughts? Would be glad to know!
