Well, that's one helluva first post!

Welcome to TRF!

620MT Coy A.S.C. was the 620 Mechanical Transport Company, Army Service Corps. In 1918, it became R.A.S.C. (Royal Army Service Corps).

Do you have any photos of the movement?

It's weird being the same age as old people.

Those photo attachments are too small to see any detail, but it looks like a Aegler Rebberg 13"' movement which would be appropriate for a 1917 Rolex.
