Hi Bradley,
You probably have about all the information you're going to get about your watch. I have one that I'm doing a cleaning and oiling on for a friend. I found it in one of my reference books, but all they say is that it is one of the brand names used by New Haven. It is a dollar watch, and they are not normally made to be repaired. First of all, the dial attaches to the movement with metal tabs instead of screws. You can get away with removing it once or twice but after that the tabs are going to break off from being bent. The cases of dollar watches usually have a back that snaps on to the case. Most are not well made and if you remove them many times, they will no longer fit properly. Most watchmakers won't touch them with a ten foot pole. They just aren't worth repairing unless you have one that has a lot of sentimental value. Don Root
