They say it was not a pocket watch converted to a trench watch but made in the 1910’s for the purpose of a “trench watch”

They did not know if it was from the trains, from the military etc. but it is definitely from the time period and based on serial # they think the age range is from 1915 to approx 1918
That makes sense.Thanks for the update.
