    Not a Franken or fake IMO. Circa 1951, Wadsworth US domestic made gold plated case using imported Swiss movement, a common occurrence in this era. Looks to have maybe been relumed but otherwise could in fact be the original dial finish. A nice enough thing but not massively valuable. Maybe worth a few hundred $ when running right, the problem is it may cost nearly as much to make it run right if as is normally the case it is way overdue a service.
