Hello, I am trying to find the model of this watch (it belonged to my grandpa) but I am novice. Can you help me?
Also, is it real or fake?
Thanks

 

Hi.
I’m going to suggest a redial here - incorrect font and the subdial appears to be painted over. It would be clearer with better photos and obviously the crystal is adding distortion. Also, the subsecond hand looks like a replacement.

In answer to your question, photos of the movement and inside the caseback would be desirable.

As a non-proper (real word?!) collector I work on the principle that if you like it then it’s worth a shot but only if it’s going very cheap. Personally for me it would be a no, but it’s not my opinion that counts. Cheers.

 

The watch looks like a ref. 2609 with cal. 30T2 from the late 1940's.

The dial has been redone.

It would be helpful to see more pictures.

 

Unfortunately, the watch is at my parent's house and I move so I don't have other pics. It has a sentimental value to me, but if it is real I would spend 100+ euros to repair it. Do you recommend any watch repair?

 

Many Thanks OMEGuy!!!
Sorry but the watch is not with me, it's at my parent's house so I don't have any more pics

 

I would recommend a service by a watchmaker, to make sure this piece of family history is kept alive. For a watchmaker the price depends were you live. If you tell us your region we can suggest you some good watchmakers.

 

Bologna, North Italy

 

@Cuttysark do you still have your Watchmaker in the north of Italy?

Maybe start a Thread asking for good watchmakers in North Italy.

 

Yes I send to @mastrorocco11 a PM!

 

Thank you, I'll do!!!
