O.K. movement is a fit, maybe the dial makes it looks like the movement is smaller than the case back cut out?

21 jewel, President.

If it was 17 jewel, could be a Marshall.

 

Edit- Not the Marshall, that model has a raised bezel surround.

I thought about Marshall, but President works for me too.

Why is this watch a President?

To my eyes, it looks nothing at all like the other longer length Presidents posted in the database, nor does it look like any of the ads for the longer length President of the time period which all have steps and edges, either engraved or non engraved bezel;  none of which have the all-over smooth curved bezel  and lugs of this particular watch.

The reason I'm broaching this topic is because I have two of this model and I don't believe it is a President.   I hesitate to post mine and have them incorrectly identified as such.
