Longines, 21j Express Monarch?
Is this movement likely an unmarked Longines 'Express Monarch'?

This is a private label watch sold and serviced by the Bichsel Brothers, Sedalia, MO. It seems a little far south for an American jeweler to handle what we normally think of as a popular Canadian watch. It is an excellent timekeeper! Tom, (or anybody) I'm hoping you can shed a little light on the Bichsel Brothers.
