I have serial number 280xxx. The "2" is identical to your "2" !! It is smaller than the other numbers and incomplete.
Are you sure that's a "2"? Or a hallmark of some kind? 80xxx and 92xxx puts these watches at 1939. Plausible for both.
I don't know why that first number is "sawed" off.
The 1946 inscribed date, however, is a clue that it is a 2, and both watches were made in late '44.
