    Hi guys, my granddad left a bunch of stuff and this is one of them. After searching the web for about 1.5hrs I still cannot find an answer.
    It measures 36mm, quite a large seconds sub dial with 10,20,30,40, 60 markings (50 was missing)
    For the hour markers, 3 & 9 are dot only (no numerals)

    If you folks can help me identify this model? Greatly appreciated.

    Also at this era, is it possible that it's a 14k watch or its bronze?

    Welcome to the forum, and condolences on your grandfather’s passing. Some of the photos did not load, you might need to try again. I hope that watch cleans up beautifully, it is pleasant to look at for sure. I don’t have your answers, but can say that the watches will need a service after obviously sitting for so long. If you do not have a trusted watchmaker to bring them to (not a mall kiosk or Omega boutique) feel free to let the forum know where abouts you live and a recommendation for a watchmaker will come

    Make sure you or watchmaker take photo of movement and caseback's inner side. It's more probably 14k gold case.

    My condolences respect your grandfather.
    Well, I think cal of this watch is 260 or 265.
    Dial is redone, maybe too much years ago and maybe movement presents rust or corrosion as the borders dial do.
    Regards and don't forget show us the pics after watchmaker opens the caseback
