I have a Longines Express Leader (marked on face and inside on mechanism) Railroad watch. It measures 61/4" in diameter, not including the winder and attached chain. Inside is is stamped 19 jewels, adjusted in 5 positions. On the plate covering the mechanisms is the number 2676759. On the outer edge where the back screws on is stamped 90847, the number 990847 is also on the inside of the back. The inside of the back is marked Silveroid, AWC Co. and there are several tiny engravings of various #/letters also. Any information and an approximate value on this watch would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Lillie ( i am having a hard time uploading the photo)

Honestly, I'd need a photo. From the sounds of it, the Longines dial & movement have been recased into an American case.

"Silveroid" and "AWC Co" is indicative of being an American made case, not a Swiss made case
