Hi Mat,

yes. I think Car 39 is the only one shown in the book using caliber 103. So I assume it has been the last model introduced with this caliber but the movement has been used in the pro movement era.

The dial of your watch fits this model which has been available before the book and is therefore not included. In 1922 this platinum variant had the 17 jewel version, but may be lower priced versions came with 15 or 16 jewels?

The watch itself has been introduced 1919 and made its way through differents ads until the early 1922 one above.

1921 ($100):

1920 (price unknown):
/vgforum/index.php?t=getfile&id=7110&private=0

1919 ($275!!!):
/vgforum/index.php?t=getfile&id=7109&private=0

So it has been too late to be included in the "worthy" book and too early for the "master" book.
