Jose  The small shield-like symbol on the back of the case (at your red arrows) is seen on many cases from this time period.  It's not a date symbol.  The case serial number dates the case to same year as movements: 1937.    Looks like the original bracelet too! Snippet of 1939 ad below.

Martha Washington from me.

I didn't check all the ads to see if this Martha Washington could be ID'ed to a variant.  There's this ad snippet below, from an "identical" Martha Washington "D" pictured below ad.  The watch below sure looks like subject watch:

Subject watch now looks like a Martha Washington "D"
