No wonder no one else posts Cyma @bubba48 - you’ve got them all 😉

I used to have this Cyma in a rather nice, but complicated, 'waterproof' sterling silver Borgel case. A quality and handsome bit of kit at the time, late 1930's I thought.

@bubba48, sorry, I let it go a little while ago. I had a thing for these late Borgel (although not really Borgel, more accurately a Taubert) cases for a little while and had a very nice JW Benson dialled one as well, also with a Cyma movement if I remember. They are lovely but alas fell to the much needed cull based on size and not wearing often.

Something more

Some of these look like they have never been worn. Stunning watches.

Unfortunately I have no others (for the moment 😗)

Thanks; the bracelets are not easy to find. Your black dial is very nice!

I have never seen a black dial with Silver furniture. Black with gold yes, but never silver.

Here’s my only Cyma but I really like it. Hard to capture its multiple nuances and colors.

Whoa - that condition is extraordinary.

Did they make a movement that had a long power reserve - is this that movement?

Is this by any chance a clamshell?

It would seem that these are most commonly seen with light colored dials - a simple google search reveals as much. After that, there's the black dial with gold details. And I'd agree on the rarity of this one, with silver details, for I haven't seen any others either.
Does anyone know if the details on these models are solid gold?

Yes indeed 😀

@imfagent449 I’m assuming your question is about someone else’s watch as I see no reason why mine would have a specific power reserve, although it is indeed in very good condition as many others on this thread.

I've got one, but they don't appear on the market often.

Honestly, I didn't pay much attention to CYMA until I saw this! Fell instantly in love with this Imperia Grand Maestro, limited to 50.

Really interesting. Do you have any documents to consult?
