Hello! I have a watch that was passed down from my father’s great grandfather and we don’t know anything about it. Would anyone here be able to give us some insight? Anything is greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much.

The picture is of very poor quality, and it looks to be a poor quality fake!
Would need a better pic to say for sure
The '6' looks like it's been printed on a sticker that's been stuck to the dial and even then it's not been printed central on the sticker!

Don´t be so hasty!
Only because you have never seen such a model doesn´t mean that it did not exist.

What about this in comparison to the OP´s watch:

And here is a similar one in sterling silver:

Can´t comment on the strange "6" - we will need much clearer pics of the area to make an educated decision.

OP stated: "passed down from my father’s great grandfather" - this gives us the correct time frame for the watch for around 1920...

As I said: need better pictures….until then it has to be assumed a fake coz that ‘6’ is highly sus

The dodgy 6 could be an AI artefact generated by the camera.
I've noticed my phone tries to "help" me by doing all sorts of weird shit when I'm trying to take a pic.
Therefore I've turned all that smart crap off for pics.

Then again, it could be a dodgy 6 sticky transfer.

In which case it’s artificial stupidity not intelligence!
I would think any camera capable of AI would be able to take hi res pics
