    If its not cut you find the brevete nr on the end of the band whitout buckle.
    Its not normal plastic and its from early to mid 40s its rarer then the watch.
    They come on early waterproof watches.

    I did not find the number, but only the inscription "PROTEXO + PATENT + SWISS MADE". What would that mean? Could someone explain the inscription on the buckle?

    Thank you for the pictures:thumbsup: Protexo is the manufacturer and «Brevete»
    and «depose» means patent

    Very interesting watch and strap.

    My most recent marvin. A tyre with provenance. Since I'm only the third owner I know the Story of the first owner (which makes it interesting.) Mister Van de Calseyde owned a business in the car industry, was a car enthousiast and most interestingly he was sovereign grand commander of the Scottish rite in Belgium.

    Very nice :thumbsup:.
    To be sure there are many very beautiful watches around — for those who’ve got the cash of course. ;)

    Agreed but I have a soft spot for inverse pusher spillman's and with this dial the combination is to die for

    I have an interesting Marvin, that I cannot really put into any "box", i.e. pilot, dress? I'm considering putting a conical crown on it though...
    The condition and all are a shame, but it has its charm to me.

    Diameter (w/o crown) 38mm
    Movement: 565s
