    Datum Geneve ID Help

    I was hoping someone might recognize this movement. Is this a Landeron 48?

    Datum Watch Factories Ltd (DWF) seems to have had a pretty short history. Registered in 1942 and seemingly long gone.

    Anyone know where/how I can find out a little more about this piece?

    Thanks for looking.

    would say a landeron just which one might be a 48 could be a 25 on thought would go 47 as their parts was interchangeable but vaguely remember a thread from wus days with our mod from here ray or was it one of the other mods had one of the same movement I think and they called a 47 if memory serves me will look for the link think I still got it
