I've always struggled with this era, just so few facts to go on. It doesn't seem likely that there would have been stockpiles based on today's standards but I think it was very possible in the era we're discussing. At the same time, I consider that a 90 year old watch may have had a movement update VERY likely, in fact in this case I submit that's exactly what happened.
I also think we should tag this one Lady Maxim although I doubt we'll really ever know for certain.
