hi all, A very similar watch generated some discussion over on the VWF forum here at this link. Mine has a 10k GF Wadsworth case which differs from the other thread. I believe this movement is actually a 3157 rather than a 315 since it has 17 jewels?. Not sure that this watch was identified over on VWF though. I probably dont want to state this too loudly but i 'won' this auction on the swamp for .99 cents... and it works & keeps time.

That should be the "Belmont" which was sold for about $37.50 in 1934 / 1935. So your price was a real bargain Razz

I have a "Strap 156" which has the same movement and dial, but slightly different case, posted here

'Belmont' appears to be correct. I have an advertisement from '34 showing the watch. Spent some time cleaning it up last night and it turned out very nicely. It's running a tad fast but i suspect a bit of time with the demagnetizer will help things.
