What is the difference between a watch that is marked “Official R.R. Standard” and “Official Standard”. Did thay just drop the “R.R.”
Thanks,

Gentlemen,
This may be a simple answer, but I still would like to know.

Just a guess but maybe they made watches for other than railroads who needed a watch but maybe not to the standards the RRs kept. The one I have belonged to my wife’s grandfather who was a sheriff and chief of police in Vicksburg MS.
I got the watch appraised by the way.
