CYMA inherited watch help

Canuck

Worth more to you if you keep it than it would be to anbody who might make you an offer on it. The links on this bracelet are hollow. See the image. I have included three arrows pointing to places where the thin outer links are worn through! There are probably more that exhibit similar wear. Many who might make an offer might see the wear, and would temper their offer accordingly. That is another way of saying the offer might be based on scrap value, or perhaps a bit more. The movement in the case is, from appearances, in nice shape. Cyma watches of the era were well designed and nicely finished. They were a quality watch. If you keep it, and wish to have it serviced, DO NOT take it to the watch repair kiosk in your local department store! This movement is worthy of the attention of a watchmaker who appreciates it for what it is, and is capable of servicing antique mechanical watches. Keep it, and you’ll have it for a long time. Sell it and for what you’ll get for it, you’ll pi$$ away the money in a week. My guess is it is from the late 1940s, or early 1950s. The case (and likely the bracelet) are 18 karat gold. Inside the case back, see the stamping .750. The equivalent of 75% pure gold.
