I thought you could authenticate it yourself as you were around during WW2?
It's up to £95 now, so a few people must feel like taking a punt on it.

During the war
I am not sure as the watch is just the face ? I thought a working watch would have been better . In less it was made in a camp ?

I don't much about SOE stuff Jason, I think it was quite secret
Still, a watch that always showed you had the whole day left to escape could have been quite useful.
