......what is interesting to me is that i can see few, if any, in the early 1950s. But this watch is from the early 1950s. Further, I can see watches dating from before and after that do not have the same marking....which makes me think Julian is correct....
this is correct Sir...

I think there are isolated examples stretching through the 1950s. Possibly watches that have been unsold for years.
