Thanks,
The grade was just a number assigned to that run of movements. It is a higher than average quality grade as it has 17 jewels when you could get a cheap watch with no jewels for a lot less money---about $1.
The size refers the the distance across the face/dial of the watch. Yours should measure 1 21/30".
If the watch is in running order, has good cosmetics and all you have into it is the $175 then it is worth the repair price you paid. Having it repaired made it worth a lot more than it was worth not running in a drawer that is for sure.
