Nice, Jennecke.
I think that the Wadsworth case number would put the watch towards 1921, right between the 1918 Worthy-Book and the 1922 start Masterbook. At this time Ultra Quality has replaced the 25 year marking...

In fact, the dial is yellow gold combined with silver color. The plastic glass is yellowed. Very Happy Houston, we’ve got a problem. It popped out. Can I use super glue?

The number, well, difficult. Starts with 8 (or 6), ends with 546 and something inbetween.

I use crystal cement If super glue dries clear you could try a dab.

It took a while... but I fixed it.

First polywatch to try to remove the yellow color. Made my first mistake... rubbing with a paper towel makes the plastic cloudy. Fixed that with Brasso and a cotton cloth.

Crystal cement got it fixed in the bezel. And a cotton swap and wooden stick was usefull for my glue spill Rolling Eyes
