    Can you help me identify this watch? It says 14K Gold Filled on the back.

    Also wondering what an historically appropriate band might be for this watch.

    Thanks!

    As for a strap, in general, the dressier pieces had alligator/crocodile while the more utlitarian pieces would have calf leather.

    Sorry, I'm new to this. What did I miss?

    I don't have any other photos at this point. I would like to show you the inside but I can't get it open.

    It's been in the family since the 1950s, probably? We're interested to know anything about it — not to sell, but just to appreciate it a bit more.

    Thanks!

    Where are you? There's a chance we can refer you to a friendly watchmaker who will pop it open so you can take (better) pictures.

    Google Nesbit's Seattle.

    A nice chocolate alligator or calf band would be my choice.

    It's a bumper movement, rock the watch from side to side & you should feel it.
    The crown has been replaced at some point & it's most likely an American cased watch (Wadsworth).
    The watch itself is named "Henry".

    kind regards.
