Just a simple, “honest” watch, for knockin’ around this weekend in jeans...powered by an AS 1538/1539....I am unfamiliar with the manufacturer, does anyone recognize the “RW” logo on the case back?

The R W trademark belongs to Rodi & Weinenberger, Pforzheim. They were not watchmakers. They were more into watch bracelets. Anybody who has a ‘50s era Fix-O-Flex bracelet (not one of the myriad copy cat look alikes) will find the R W logo on the back of their bracelet. The movement is a bog stock A Schild 1538. The Rallye name doesn’t show up on Mikrolisk. One of millions of generic watches with unrecognizeable names, built of off the shelf components, but probably a very serviceable, reliable timepiece, likely from the 1950s.
