Watch Description

Here's an unusual 1939 dated men's that is completely out of character for the time period. Based on lug; I'm confident this sports the original Kreisler band. Very clean case with chalked face. Appears to only need a service to be a runner. Total length 42.1mm x 20.6mm not counting crown.

Based on Kathy L.'s new ad find this is not a Major but close.  Ad is from a 1939 sales book.  Good news is I also have one in my repair pile. Glad to have a name for it.
