Can you help me identify this watch? Inherited from Great Grandfather.

    The watch has been in our family as long as my mom can remember (40 years or so). It looks like a De Ville, but I cannot find any on Google images that are an exact match. Can anyone here help?

    Thanks!
    Anthony

    It's a generic (no series name, as in Seamaster or Geneve) manual wind from the 60's judging by the bezel and dial pattern.

    If you pop the case back you will find the reference on the inside . Let us see the movement .

    It's a front loader so you'll need to see the watch guy to have a look

    It's indeed a one shell case.

    I reckon it will look a helluva lot better if you polywatch that crystal and attach a nice strap to it.

    Nice watch!
