    I was going to replace the sweep hand but it may well be original. Factory lume mismatch is not impossible on these 1960s things.

    Heuer with that bezel makes obscure for sure.

    Breitling 2005 with slow movement is obscure and special.

    Not sure how many have seen this. I have never seen it until I got it or after.

    Was shown here before, but here with a different second-hand (white):
    ACCUTRON .2182 from 1972/73 (N2 marked)

    Another ones from the 60s/70s, got those on eBay from the same seller.

    The first one with a AS 1882 movement.
    Apparently you had 2 companies with the same name : I believe this one to be French (they were assembling Swiss materials...)
    Quite nice indeed (except the bezel which definitely looks like a later addition)

    The second one a Silvana with a ETA 2887 movement.
    I found a nice article about this model :

    Indeed, typical French assembly watch. Not high end, but good quality. Enjoy!

    This one from another member here a while ago. I love when watches do the round-Robin from member to member.
