Here is dial side, since no one has posted it.
Bridge style between the 700 and 702 are different than the 703-705, but the keyless works are seemingly identical per the entry in the 1945 parts catalog
Of note, Barnett's Green Book indicates that these were introduced in 1939. Online he says 1935. I'd say closer to 1931 for the 700. These are not listed in the 1929/30 movement catalog so that is a lower bound if taken literally. Models with this base caliber start to show up in adverts about 1931/32. I think my movement is 1933/34 as that is the time it was 1st advertised as the 'Master' (Thanks Bernd for the ID).
All I know is based on hard work & writing by others. I can only aspire to augment this body of knowledge. If I am wrong it is because of my own failings. -me
