This one found its way to me recently also. I'd never owned one of these before but wow, I must say, it is a very nice watch. Albeit is quite small at about 31mm, it is a very sharp watch that feels extremely high quality. I see these on eBay and they never seem to crack $100, although they appear to have a great finish quality and a nice movement inside. The dial is domed, and has its main indices engraved in to the dial. Nicely faceted case and lugs, with a very cool caseback design. Heres a few pictures. Going to send it for service and get a new strap and I think this will be my new dress watch! Such class.

 

What a nice find! Classy, timeless, ...

 

That’s a NFW.

 

Thanks gents. Crystal needs a polish and needs a proper regulation but I reckon it'll look pretty good after its bath.

 

Beauty! Let's put it this way. It would sell for 10 times that if it were 38mm or more...smaller watches are passed by unfortunately. Which is absolutely fantastic for those who collect them.

Cheers,

 

You’re absolutely right! I actually quite like a small watch. So comfortable and understated.

Lovely!

 

Very nice find! Love the caseback especially. Lot of nice affordable vintage watches out there if you’re patient and know a good (and cheap) watchmaker.

 

very nice watch, but a little too small for my taste My favorite watch size is 35mm to 40mm.

 

That is a great one. Good find.

 

Good find. Most of these I’ve seen are from India, or were originally from there and have been poorly redialed or movement shot, etc. Read somewhere on this forum that India was a big market for them, hence my first statement. Yours looks great though .
One thing I’ve done with my smaller pieces with 16 mm lugs is to get a non-tapered strap, which gives the watch a bit more wrist presence.
