David ThomasRotherhams of Coventry were one of the first companies to make watches by machine in England. The majority of the watches they produced had only 7 jewels so your watch is better than average.
You should be able to date your watch by looking up the hallmark

Chris AbellDave I found the hallmark I think 1926.
strange set up on the balance?

David ThomasLooks like a normal English compensating balance with timing srews.
