Very nice. Do you have a photo? There are a few Handley and Hantily cased watches in the Vintage section (to where I just moved your post) if you do a search.

J W Handley also made fishing reels and their old address points to 655 Victoria St, Richmond/Abbotsford. There's apartments there now with the iconic Skipping Girl neon sign.

Been meaning to go snap a pic but keep getting waylaid by the IKEA across the road
