Answers to your questions...

Thank you!
Gatorcpa - you helped me immensely! I am looking fwd to seeing my watchmaker next week to get the reference numbers and begin service.
A quick update
A quick update for everyone -- both watches are in the hands of a terrific local watchmaker to service (based on everyone's advice here). I also noted both movement numbers and case reference numbers. I was able to locate my the gents piece on their datab...
