have not got it yet and the pic and info is from the auction and a bit fuzzy. They claim its a cal 244, 17 Jewels
Ref: 2668-9 sc 2655 serial 14526408, well see got no pic on that. runs but have a hard wind up. Got it for 70Euro.
my plan is to use it for practise, open and clean and so on, but it seem quite original but is it...Hiss or diss?

Looks like a nice little ladies watch, and aside of the dial damage, would be a nice little watch.
Are you sure you want to practice on something like this? The movement is probably smaller than a dime. Perhaps buy a $25 Miyota and start with that?

You might be looking at something like either of these two. Both about 1\2 “ in diameter. You must have worked on such watches before! Hung ho!

Looks like a good candidate for restoration.

I wouldn't be surprised if that dial cleaned up nicely.

Are you aware that it is a very small women's model?
