Watch Description

This watch is difficult to photograph, so I apologize for the quality of the dial photo. The caseback is worn, so I can't quite make out the first digit of the case serial number. It could be 3, 5, 6, or 8. There is no visible manufacturer's mark on the inside of the caseback. I picked 1935 as the date of manufacture based on the 5AE movement, but if that has been replaced at some point, all bets are off. Thanks again, panel members.

I wonder if this is a variant of this 1938 Martha Washington ad.

Interesting Jim, when I looked at THIS advert I decided it was not a match to Martha Washington but what I look at the one you linked, I think it is. In the advert you listed I can see the extra wide part of the case.

I'm coming around to 1935 Martha Washington

I say 'Martha Washington' all day long.

Not to sure it's the "B" variant, so generic for now.
