They are in a lot of watches besides early Rolex (W&D) watches.

Thanks, Larry; your comments are always appreciated.
The movement is in a .925 silver case marked W&D and Rolex on two surfaces; the dial isn't marked at all. I've sent the dial and hands out to have the 107 year old radium lume removed and relumed with "vintage" color Luminova.
