·Hi all
I previously posted on this watch but I have new photos and would like to ask about overall condition and gold hallmarks on the case.
Circa 1940s?
Nice original dial with some age-related "patina"
Case maybe a bit polished and crown a replacement?
Case size is around 32mm
Case back scratched
As you can see below, the 14K hallmark on the inside case back is fine but I have been looking for the hallmark on the case body. I think I found it on the inside of the case that would normally be covered; see the photo yellow circled around it below. However I could be wrong!
Cyma cal 414 variant with 17 jewels
Additionally from the grainy photo below of the inside lug I think I can make out a marking but again I could be wrong!
Unfortunately the seller has upped the price to $ US650 citing the rising gold price and I am assuming it would need a service on top of that.
I would love to hear your comments on my observations and the overall prospect on this example.
Cheers all
