·Clearer focused pictures needed including front both sides and back. All info is on inside Caseback and movement you can get watchmaker to open it and get good quality photos of inside Caseback and movement.

·As noted, it's not easy to see because of the crystal, but it looks totally legit to me at first glance, with the exception that the crown has been replaced at some point, which isn't a big deal. A watchmaker could and service the movement and you could wear it on a leather strap, if that interests you. I think the dial is always going to have a bit of damage, but it will be an attractive watch, you can see that the hands and dial markers are gold, the 3-6-9-12 numerals are gilt, and the dial has a two-tone design. It's nice.
If you take it to a watchmaker, ask them to send you photos of the movement and the inside of the case-back, and we can give you more information.

·Oh it looks really nice when you see it cleaned, yes I will go and find somewhere to get it cleaned and opened. I will send some pictures of inside then. Thank you I learned a lot. Mum thinks it’s been in old box for over 60years so for it to still work is surprising.

·The watch is likely from the first part of the 1950s, so it's roughly 70 years old. I suppose it's possible that it has been in the box for over 60 years. But it looks to me like someone did enjoy it for some time before putting it away.

·A tube of polywatch for a few quid or even some toothpaste and a cotton cloth will significantly improve the crystal and give you a better look at the dial.

·Probably the box it was in too didn’t help as was full of old coins and tools and other broken bits, just glad I looked at and it wasnt put in with rubbish pile.

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.I think it’s worth fixing. Crystal polish and movement only. If you post you location members can steer you to an independent watchmaker.

·The movement cal appears to be 283, the 12M serial number dates the watch to approximately 1950, and the reference number of the watch is 2537.
