·I am a totally newbie and got the watch recently, appreciate any help on this. The seller said it is a watch from 1952, with a calibre 283.
Please help identify calibre 283!

··ΩF InvestiGatorI cannot read the case reference number on the caseback in the photograph. The watch looks genuine with an original dial. However, there was some re-luming done at one point. The dots in the odd numbered markers look a bit sloppy and too white.
The case is in decent shape, not over polished and the blued seconds hands is a nice extra.

·When I first saw the photo I immediately thought it was a ref 2640, but that's obviously not what the case-back says. OP, can you please post a better photo of the reference number, or read it and tell us what it says?

·WOW thanks everyone for your help, the shop helped with opening the case back and I have no idea how to open it again so I have no clue how to do it.
I got the watch for around US$870, is it a reasonable price?

·I would say it's a fair price. The dial seems to be textured or " hobnail" . If it's services you got your self nice deal.

·I do like that dial. Nicely done. It looks even more papery than most of the other hobnails. Beautiful.
