Reason 2, the watch was made for Ed Waara a railroad watch inspector in the upper peninsula, few private labels come from the U.P. 3, its a 5 digit serial. # 4, Waara continues to be an important name in Michigan. 5, the solid 14k gold hunter case is massive.. Opens and closes beautifully with no dents or gouges or scratches of note. 6, the gross weight is astounding 131g with over 60g of gold with movement crystal and springs taken out. 7, if you put it all together you have what is undoubtedly an incredibly unique watch 18s and sure to become the center piece of a collection.
