    Hi all

    I picked this up awhile back but its not running ive tried a few places to see if they will look at it locally but no one seems interested.

    Is there any one on here from the UK who could look at it for me i don't mind paying or is it not worth it

    thanks

    It could be a low grade manual wind movt and chrome case...it is it, prob not worth fixing.

    Do you have a pic of the caseback?

    It looks like an inexpensive private label dive style watch from the 60s...they made a ton of them.

    Have a watchmaker take a look...see if they can't just do the bare minimum to get it running.

    It is a slick looking watch! Good luck

    I had a similar one of these once that I picked up for pretty much nothing - you are right, they do look nice, but have a base metal case with a SS back. I ended up chucking it in the trash at one point.
