    I have inherited this watch from my grandfather, and I would appreciate any help in identifying the model and dating it. It is a manual movement, with case number 8785921. Thanks for your help.

    The case reference would seem to indicate it is an early 1900’s watch. The series starting with an 8 are usually 1907 . Nice watch . Have you opened the case . If so a few photos of the movement and inside of the case would help pin it down . Hope this helps

    Likely 1950s based on the style, but we will really need to see the movement. Possibly a cal 126.

    Case number puts it in the 1950s I think. If you can open it up the serial # will be more specific
