Case dated by s/n and movement stamp indicate 1938. Gold plated case and back. Dial is a little chalked and it's missing the gold cap off the crown. Band is a replacement braided leather I scavenged off a quartz ladies watch that is a reasonable (for now) visual repro of the 3 cord leather as seen in the 1939 ad included. Currently keeping time.
Seems to be a 1938 Montgomery.

The illustration does not match the subject watch, IMO. There are notches at the corners of the central part of the case, but I haven't looked at the other Monty's yet.
EDIT:
The other Monty's loo the same, but still do not match the illustration, and I checked the other adverts for the Montgomery, and they all seem to depict a different watch as well. It's similar, but can all the illustrations be wrong? There are no corner notches shown in any of them.

I'm not seeing it, and I have gone over this quite a few times. Not only does the illustration not have any notches, but the case appears to be more tank-like, that is, it has straight sides, whereas the subject watch(es) all have curved outwards sides, tonneau style. I don't think these match at all.
