Identifying & Repairing Your Vintage Waltham Pocket Watch


Question
I have an old Waltham pocket watch from my mother that I think is gold plated.  Inside back cover says A.W.W.Co. and also B&B Royal 20 years 6797649.  I just wondered what year it was made and if if is worth fixing.  The hour hand is broken off and it doesn't work.  Thanks!

Answer
Barbara-
of course its worth fixing, it was your Mothers!! it doesnt matter how much the dollar value is.....Im not that familiar with pocket watches ans I am a diamond expert and do not engage in watches of any kind, im sorry. If you can remove the movement, and if the watch was ever worked on by a watchmaker, the dates and years should be engraved on the inside of the case where the movement sits....hope this helps
good luck
