Sorry, but without shots of the movement, we won't be able to even begin to help. You see, using sticky dots, I can place a dial on any movement of the appropriate size. So any guesswork we do know is just that, guesswork.
Cheers,
Dan

Thanks Dan, I'm hoping to get a reply from the original watchmaker today.
I don't know enough about pocket watches to think about opening it up.

Best to let a pro take a look on a watch of this vintage, so good decision.

I work fairly near to the original company that made the watch so I hope to pop in with it sometime soon.

Looks like a Birmingham assay mark maybe 1924.

Given that the watch was made in Cheltenham, a Birmingham assay mark would make sense.
As for the date, I know that my grandfather bought it second hand at some point in the 1960's.
Thanks for the info, I intend to visit the original makers in the near future to see if they have any info in their archives.
