PUNCHING  :  D.H.  only .
                       letters and numbers have same size ( 1mm ).
S/N  : The small number of watches examinated ( 4 ) does not allow to define a range .
NOTE  :
            1. EMCO was a sub-brand of Rado
                In all respect , this watch was an Helvetia . The explanation can be sought in the fact that ,
                for a period  ,“ La Generale / Helvetia Watch Co“ had a partecipation in Rado ( 1938 – 1941 ).
            2. A singular fact is rapresented by the letters “ D.H. “ punched on the Helvetia  code  number (3190)
                instead on the S/N . This is on all watches seen ( 4 ).
