This watch is a nice large example of the classic Ruby Cylinder Keyless Watch. The watch is completely intact with the compensation curb, stop works on the top of the barrel and a fine original single bottom case. There is one mystery about the watch since the "M" date letter would date the case to 1807/1808. The most likely explanation is that the case was made up in the shop to fit the new movement design from an existing case. The Prest keyless watches and watches winding through the dial used the single bottom case design.
