Could we see some pics of the movement. The numbers you quoted sound like the case number but there is usually a 2 or 3 digit reference number as well. The movement should also have a number. Julian

This one looks probably from the 40's, there's the swiss hallmark on one of the lugs. I'm not an expert, but I collect vintage watches. Would like to see the movements, I'm starting to learn more about the different calibers.
