No problem. This is a Cartouche 107, introduced a bit earlier than your other watch 1925 initially with a caliber 835 movement. You can find it in "The Catalog" and the 1927 Gruen Stock Record Book, as well as the 1910s/1920s Decade Book and the 1929 Guild Book. Same price as the other one and it had a double star rating in the 1927 Stock Record Book meaning that this was one of the best selling watches at that time. Same rating in 1929 for both watches!
