Jenneke, it is not possible it is a converted pocket watch.
Calibre 94 was not only used in ladies pocket watches but also used in wrist watches. That is simply a fact. I have physical evidence of that in my collection, plus numerous examples of it in photo evidence.

I don't mind speculation on gender but there is no doubt about this watches originality and authenticity.

Speculation resonates with me most when it is accompanied with something tangible. Something to at least point to. Speculation that stems from a feeling or vibration has little meaning to me.

That's why I found afires ad so interesting. Never seen that one before.

I am open to the possibility that this could potentially be a mans watch, as I have been from the beginning, none of this has been proven, but the evidence has me leaning towards a woman's watch is all. 🤷‍♀️

PS, subseconds has never defined gender. Hinged loop ends seem to be more common on ladies wristwatches and so far only seen this calibre in ladies Gruen watches.
