I saved this watch from a friend who was throwing it away. It wasn't working and was beyond repair. The quartz movement was interesting as the stem hole was rather deep into the movement towards the Base.

The hands measured at 150/90 which to me are for a mechanical movement !

I restored this watch on a very tight budget, ie.... using a cheap Chinese replacement movement. Even so I think the end result is a very pretty watch. The old movement.

Replacement.

Also having some vintage, it's very comfortable on the wrist, not being to large.

Really can't understand the modern fashion for large watches. What's the point of strapping a mantle clock to your wrist that's about as comfortable as wearing a brick.

Please, don't discourage people from using big, heavy watches on the wrist. We Orthopedic doctors have to make a living with expensive spine operations and if they stop using the big heavy watches it will prevent scoliosis!
