    I have no idea what ref or movement. Don't even know what size it is.
    The swirled/twisted lugs and apparently untouched condition made me throw in a bid.
    It should be heading this way soon. In the meantime it could be cool to see if anyone out there manages to identify it. :):whistling:::confused2::

    Wrong lug design. It's those swirled/twisted lugs that I don't see too often.

    So, it arrived, and I am rather pleased with it.
    Only a light cleaning so far, and I like it. The crystal is signed, but have some light cracks at one side. Could be original, so I think I will keep it "as is".
    35.5mm diameter. Signed crown. Dial has some light aging, but all within reason. Cal 265 movement is keeping time over 24 hours. Ref is 2639-1. @tdn-dk was spot on!

    :)
