I came across this watch (see pics) at a local thrift store in a jar with other watches. This one stuck out to me but is missing its Second hand as well as its “Crown”. Is this worth having repaired? Any idea on a rough price point? Thank you very much!

It's an interesting watch, but it has no significant financial value, given that the value of the repaired watch is probably less than the cost of repair. If you can buy it for virtually nothing and you're interested in a project, it could be fun.

Dan,
Thanks so much for such a fast reply. I appreciate the insight as I did not want to put more money into it that it would be worth. (It came in a jar of other old watches at the price of $50 for all 15ish of them)

Eterna is a really top notch vintage brand, and that watch looks totally legit to me. But it looks like a small chrome-plated watch, and needs significant repair.

That was going to be my next question, anyone have a guess of the year?

1930s would be my guess. The serial number chart does not seem to be totally accurate in that era. I have this Eterna tank watch also in the 2.4M range.
