Sep 21, 2024 #6 Really enjoy these responses Everybody. I used to be primarily referring to wrist watches, sorry should have designed that a lot more distinct. I have got a pair watches that close to 1940 to 1960, I think these are typically regarded vintage to my expertise.

I scanned the "S" listings on Mikrolisk, but did not come across any very likely candidates: Mikrolisk - The horological trade mark index
