To Replace or Not to Replace
Generally speaking, is it better to replace the rusted hands of a vintage pocket watch or keep them because they’re original? Does that also apply to the dial? I picked up an Elgin 345 Grade 3 and it looks like the old acrylic crystal is the culprit. I’m pretty new to pocket watches and I don’t want to mistakenly destroy some wildly collectable watch, but if this will only fetch $90 in mint condition I probably don’t want to spend the money anyway.

Prewar Waltham Premier Wristwatch- Solid Gold?
In my evening browsing, I stumbled across this listing for a badly abused Waltham Premier. It looks to me to be late 30s/early 40s- I’m guessing later rather than earlier, since there’s no small seconds subdial. What caught my eye about it is the fact that, as battered and scarred as the case is, I can see no clear evidence of base metal or corrosion that I would expect in a gold filled watch (this is surely too early to be plated.) there’s not even corrosion in the lug holes, which are…
