Hi Jackieod, thanks for sharing this one. The 8AH movement dates to the mid forties, it was available in 17 and 21 jewel configurations. I would date yours to 1946. My guess is that the movement was recased in the fifties as the replacement case looks to be that era. Depending on what your grandfather did for a living it's possible he damaged the original case OR purchased the watch in it's current case some time later than 1946. Perhaps it's a family mystery you can research. I would think the greatest value would be as a keepsake from him. By the way the number of watchmaker service marks in the case back indicate it was very well cared for.
