Question
Good Morning,

I have a Waltham Pocket Watch in working condition with the following serial number: 682705 It has the MOON trade mark from the Dennison Watch Case Co. LTD.

Can you please date this Watch and a rough estimate of the value and any more information on this Pocket Watch. How many were manufactured and if it is an antique collectors item?

Waltham is a collectible watch.  You can look at ebay to find similar watches
to get a feel for the prices.

Kind regards,

Melvin
