·Hi there!,
I inherited this wrist watch (along with a pocket watch that I mentioned in a separate post) who belonged to my grandpa who left Switzerland in 1912-14 (although I think he got this watch a long time after that date).
I'm trying to find a place where I can buy the crystal for it (it currently has a plastic one that someone must have installed as part of a subpar service at some point in time). I'm also uncertain if this model is meant to have a seconds hand...
The poor dial also looks like it's seen better days, but being a complete neophyte in watch making, I'm not sure how or if this can be cleaned/restored.
Thank you to anyone who reads this and specially to anyone who can provide some advice on the maintenance part and maybe even a trustworthy place to source parts from😀
