Love the "W" after the "8." First time I've seen a number/letter combination for the case style!

Good news. There are more! Rolling Eyes

-pocket watch 750 W, 14k gold filled, wadsworth (1x)
-wristlet 127 W, ultra quality gold filled, wadsworth (1x)
-wristlet 819 1/2 W, ultra quality gold filled, wadsworth (1x)
-wristlet 819 1/2 G, ultra quality gold filled, wadsworth (2x)
-wristlet 825 G, ultra quality gold filled, wadsworth (1x)
-wristlet 24 Y, 0.935, ? (1x)[/list]
-wristlet 8 3/4 ligne W , ultra quality gold filled, wadsworth (1x)
-wristlet 10 1/2 ligne W , ultra quality gold filled, wadsworth (1x)
-wristlet 10 1/2 ligne G, ultra quality gold filled, wadsworth (1x)
-convertible 10 1/2 ligne G, ultra quality gold filled, wadsworth (2x)
-quadron 157 8w, 14k gold filled reinforced with extra gold, wadsworth (10x) -> for example Quadron 15

And diamond wrist watches in the guild book have some special lettering. These "Design numbers" are also inside the case:
Cartouche 105 1w, iridium platinum (1x) -> Design 1W105 (page 109, 1929 Guild book)
Cartouche D107, iridium platinum (1x) -> Design D1077

I think the W means wide.

In the 1929 Guild book Crystal chart you see style 1: 157/8w 117/8w and style 6: 157/8 117/8. If these crystals are the original size, you can see that the 8W crystal is bigger overall. So yes, it could mean "wide". But I have some doubts seeing those "G"s and other letter markings.

You can only waste time if you forget to enjoy it - Loesje
