Here at the Home For Wayward Watches we had another UAA (unanticipated accidental acquisition) this past weekend while at the San Angelo, Texas gun show.
While walking the aisles I came across some 15 to 40 year old junk quartz watches with a few older Timex, Gruen, and Mido watches thrown in. Oh, and one Hamilton. All were in a flat glass-topped display case, along with a bunch of small knick-knack firearms accouterments and accessories. There were too many stained dials and dead second hands on the other mechanical watches, but this particular Mido acted as if it wanted to run and needed help. Appears quite exquisite when viewed in person. It's pouring rain outside so crummier photos than usual are offered.
It's the smallest men's watch I've had at only 30mm. I'm guessing it's post-World War II to early 1950s perhaps?
$4 picked it up.
A real runt when compared with its Mido relative also kept here.
