    From the dealer -- and from a more innocent age -- Goldenstein's in Cairo, or maybe Alexandria

    Is that the correct reference number (assuming Mr. Goldenstein put the reference number for the watch case number) ? I cant say I've ever seen a 22547 before

    Serial # 1063959 indicates manufacture 1943-45 but guarantee dated 25-6-52?
    Had it been gathering dust in Mr. Goldstein's shop or was it second-hand?

    Good question, and I don't know the answer, but watches did tend to sit around on shelves for a while back in the day.

    I believe a phone call to Mr. Goldstein in on the cards.

    .... and I hope you have not been poking the escapement with a pin :mad:
