This watch was given to my grandmother in the 1950s, bought in Germany likely around 1955. I'm guessing I'd need to have the back opened but until I find a watchmaker to do this, I'm wondering if anyone might be able to give/guess info about it? Second photo is a Canadian dime, similar size to a US dime.

The serial number suggests production circa 1953, so 1955 is certainly a plausible purchase time-frame.

Thanks - where did you find the serial number information? I was looking online but didn't find anything that made sense.

Haha, no, what I meant was is there a website to check the serial number against?

That's a pretty good chart for movement serials, IMO.

That one is "official" and also has rough case serial number info. But it has some typos.
