Picked up this vintage CYMA Cymaflex for low price and didn’t expect much… but this one delivered. Original dial, IMO, with honest patina, clean stainless case, and inside is a CYMA in-house R.458 movement running around +14 sec/day with strong amplitude. The Cymaflex line was known for its shock protection, and you can tell this one was built to last. CYMA may fly under the radar, but they made some seriously robust pieces back in the day. Threw it on a simple leather strap and it just works.

Sounds nice, Cyma did make great watches. I'd love to see a photo of the whole watch.

Very nice, I’m a big fan of vintage Cyma. Still very affordable today and the Cymaflex system is cool.

Here is another one. Still trying to get the case back open. I think it's stuck but runs well and not bad on the time graph but definitely needs servicing.
I think it's a nineteen forties
