Oh, man... Sorry, Liz!! But it's just such a beautiful movement--and unknown maker, too, so these fascinate me! I've another, too, so I'll take a look.

Let me also second Gary and say I love your pics. And your watch with this movement is the most exquisite example I've seen. Sadly, my movement here has a gold crown, meaning it was likely once something as beautiful.

BTW, I've also seen a similar movement (perhaps just a later plate style, or whichever variant is the other!) in a 14k man's watch. A pre-quadron Quadron, if you will, similar to the one I believe your 1921 ad shows at bottom right, but case made in 1924-25 and now having a Verithin signed dial/Guild marked movement. I was hoping someone here had it, to see better pics. Haven't seen it yet. Still kicking myself for not being available when it ended.

My two caveats:
1) I'm wrong many times a day --just ask my wife!
2) Always seeking to learn more
