Can you post a photo of the inside of the watch case?
Possibly the watch is from 1937, the same date as the coin? Beautiful, substantial watch!
Oh - G. M. Wheeler is a gentleman's watch.

Yours looks like the 1888 one here. Cases were often made by other companies, no? The case should be marked.

You need to look inside to determine date made.
What a beautiful watch and fob. Great find indeed!
i'll say 1910, thats when PHILADELPHIA WATCH CASE COMPANY got into these Niello cases.
Exquisite watch and fob. Where did you find such a gorgeous watch? In your title you wrote "great find". You left me guessing. Please share.
FRED-1280-334 Thank you for your follow up note. Appreciate it. No wonder the watch was a great find. Georgous. Enjoy!
