Not a clue Scott, the manufacture year is a guess at this point. Case design says 40's, hands say 50's (?) I'm also hoping the visible brassing is limited to the spring bar - will provide crystal dimensions.

Can't wait for this one to make an appearance, 'estate found' according to the Seller, looks original.

Not sure, the glass in this Watch is original. Scott had mentioned the GS CMX365-10 as being a 3 step terraced Crystal which looks like what You have.
I don't know as there is not an ad identifying this Case only one for another 1950 Automatic named 'DUO WIND' on which Dou Wind also appears on the Dial.
According to ads from 1952 on these were no longer referred to as 'DUO WIND', what Year is Your Watch?
