Hi asylum inmates ! This is a slightly odd request, but here goes. My older brother has lost his watch ! I am trying to find another to replace it. In 1960 whilst serving with the Royal Green jackets in Germany he purchased an Oris skeleton watch, the dial was green and came on a white leather strap. I have nothing else to go on and don't quite know where to look? Any information gratefully received. Regards Johnnie, ps it was hand winding and the back was see through, not sure if glass or plexiglass.

Well.. where to start.

.. this may produce some results.

Alternatively, there is always the back streets of Delhi :P

.. you can have any colour you like, and if you ask very nicely, they may throw in a tour of the Red Fort for an extra hundred rupees. . :D

      Phinney Walker Mickey Mouse Watch HELP

      By Mercurial · Posted

      I have no experience with this watch, but looking at the pictures from the ebay listing linked above, it looks like the outer metal bezel at the back of the watch may not be part of the case proper.  It looks like the watch and strap are sandwiched together, and an inner case may push out of the rear bezel towards the front of the watch.  A case style similar to the Roamer watches where the crystal, movement and caseback pushed out through the back of an outer bezel, only in reverse - this one may push out towards the front.  To test this, you would need to hold the watch, dial down, supporting the dial side of the watch around the edge of the bezel without touching the bezel itself. Then push down carefully on the inner metal ring you can see at the back of the watch. I’m speculating here, proceed at your own risk. Hopefully someone with hands on experience of these watches can chime in! Best Regards, Mark

      Thanks, Mark. That's the kind of reassurance many of us wanted to hear! Yes, life is unfortunately unpredictable, and it would be a shame if the many dedicated WRT: ers became stranded if, god forbid, something happened to you and WRT stopped working.

      The case back is perfectly aligned to the case and has no provisions for a screwing tool. The T-Sport series has snap on backs.

      For me the text looks too aligned and with no obvious way to grip as a screw back.

      There’s no indents & there’s no little groove to pry it off anywhere! So I don’t know if it’s screw down or pry off 👍
