Hi
My movement is stamped 1291462 which is circa 1898.
Above serial No is a Swiss cross and 8750
What does this denote?
Thanks

 

Pictures man we need pictures. in the case of this watch it refers to a patent.
On the other hand it could be for manufacturer and calibre.

 

I didn't see the point in pictures when I thought someone would know straight away. Pictures now added

actually I think the Cal was identified by Canuck as being a "19". Sorry if I have wasted any ones time! That said the movement diameter (dial-face) = 45.84mm so perhaps it's not!
Dm = 43.86mm
