I have determined from the date chart on this site that this is a 1930 watch as it has that particular symbol on it. It is 15 jewels and has 10AX written as well (movement??). It says it was made in the USA and the outer case says 10K Rolled Gold Plate Bezel and stainless back.
Any information is greatly appreciated as it was my great grandfather's watch.

Thanks plainsmen, I can absolutely see how this could become quite addictive. I've always had an interest in vintage watches as I find modern watches waaaay too large and gaudy. I am thinking this may be my jumping off point for another expensive and time consuming hobby :)
Have you any idea where I might find an appropriate leather band that would be similar to the original? I would like to get the watch looking as original as possible.
Hrmm... well if you want you can look on ebay for NOS (New Old Stock) but they run pretty decent money...
I know that a member and watchmaker on here timemachines has a bunch of those NOS bands... maybe private message him and ask. I think you could probably aquire one pretty reasonably.
