Thanks for posting this link to the Otay - San Jose - Osaka companies info on your site!

I think you've seen this and I posted it on the 149 board a while back, but the only little piece associated with these companies I have is a Japanese postcard sent to O.P. Wheeler at the Osaka Watch Co. ...

It is interesting that many of the old accounts (some by non watch folks) of Otay are incredibly incorrect--one old & famous newspaper article stated that just 6 were made............sort of like a recent post elsewhere that only 6 Adams & Perry watches/movEments are known!:bang:
