How can I find an approximate age of my GP watch?
Dear owners of GP watches:
I recently bought a vintage Girard-Perregaux watch on the xxxxx but have no idea how old it is.
Could you please advise me on this?
The movement has the number 03E 719 but nothing else. I think that the watch is authentic and is ca. 1950.
I am attaching the two pictures of the watch. Thank you.

The movement...
was used in the 1940's, though certainly could have been cased in a watch from 1950. The dial is probably refinished, as it appears typical of many GP's sold from South America, many of which are redialed.
It's a good-looking watch in any case, so congratulations.
