    Is anyone familiar with this vintage watch from the 1930's? I haven't found any information online regarding the cutaway markers and I might be interested in purchasing it, but would like to know more about it:

    My guess is legit, based on similarity with a Jeannert-cased 18K version that I have

    Thanks @LouS and @Modest_Proposal.

    For the sake of transparency, I sourced this watch for the OP from a contact of a contact and the only things that were not totally convincing to be were the track on the subdial and the tarnishing on the hands. With gold beneath the dial I would have expected the hands to also be gold and these look to have tarnished. With the print, it just looked too good.

    Are you both as sure as you can be from just two photos that these are correct?

    Around the 34mm Mark (without checking I believe the seller measured it at 33.4mm.
