Watch Description

My dad said he got this watch when he was in the Army (WWII) and it was confiscated from him when he was captured as a POW in Germany. He said the guards returned it to him just before everyone was released. I don't know if any of this story is true, but trying to find out any info on this watch.

Similar case "embelishments" in this 1937 ad.

That ad is great . 

I had just assumed that the diamonds on a number of the models were jeweler

embellishments to please that particular customer.

Are there pictures of the movement? I have a very similar watch.

So this one and Lisa's example make 4 of these cases out there......  There's variation on jewel count in these, but the cases are the same.
