·Cal 30T2 PC movement from 1948. Can you post a photo of the inside of the case-back? Try to focus on the numbers.

·OK, as noted in the case-back, the movement was apparently shipped from Switzerland to England where it was cased by Dennison in a locally made case.

·I'm no expert on these Dennison-cased pieces, and they're slightly less desirable to collectors than all-Swiss models. However, it looks basically legit to me, with the possible exception of the sub-dial hand, which seems a bit short. The dial has some damage, but the numerals are interesting and stylish. 36mm is a nice wearable size, and it's nice to have the shock-protected movement from that era. If it's running, then I'd say you did well.

·The movement is apparently very tough and spares are ok . You should see the last few numbers 1396 on the case back match the number stamped at the back edge of the case. Yours has the last four numbers which I haven’t seen before ( usually it is three), and the reference is quite a low number of digits. The overall ref13322 was produced in quite high volumes.
I think the Dennison cases are quite well liked in U.K.but Dan S is right I think, probably all Swiss is higher value to most people. . I have one and the sub second hand is longer just as Dan indicates.Padders knows about these

·It's a Dennison 13322 so size exc crown is circa 33.5mm. Are there 3 or 4 numbers stamped on the mid case? It only looks like 3 to me. Often, but not always, if there are 4 numbers the case has fixed strap lugs. It's a very nice quality case in stainless steel.
The 4 digit number inside the case back and stamped on the mid case are thought to be best fit numbers. 3 or 4 digits will also be stamped on the bezel as it's a 3 piece case. They are sometimes mismatched.
Value wise I think these usually sell for £300 - 400 in the UK.

·This is my 1949 9k version of the same watch. I bought it from Padders a couple of years ago. These are nice watches and 33.5 mm is the correct diameter.
