Hi,
I recently purchased this watch and am hopeful that someone can help with some more information about the watch.
I have dropped the watch into a watchmaker for a service, and he gave me the following information.
Serial number is 11345692 which I have found out means 1947 year of manufacture.
Calibre is 30 T2PC. This seems correct but was wondering what the PC stands for?
The writing of the inside of the case back has a number 2503-3. Don't know what this means.
So, in summary, I'm wondering what the 2503-3 means and what the PC stands for and would appreciate any other fun facts anyone may know about this model.
The better photo I have is from the add but I also have a poor yellowish photo I took in the store. Sorry no more to offer at this time.
Looking forward to hearing from someone.

It can be a bit confusing at times though, SC equates to "Seconds Centre" while PC equates to "Shock Absorber" (Incabloc).
Your watch has a sub-seconds dial which is referenced as PS (Petit Seconds) but I haven't seen it used much.

Hi thanks for everyone's help. Also wondering what type of strap would have been normal for this age watch. The one supplied seems a reasonably cheap item.
Cheers

A thin, unpadded, tan pigskin or calfskin box-stitched strap would have been typical
