Thanks. Researching Lorsa brought me to the following page. It is an interesting read about French watches. I think it would be of interest to followers of this thread. https://wahawatches.com/all-you-need-to-know-about-french-watches/
I have a couple divers with Lorsa movements- pretty robust and whole movements can be purchased cheaply. I got a NOS one for $25 for this one which had a rusty movement but was cosmetically nice - runs like new now. Before clean-up after
Not normally a fan of day/date but this is a nice execution. Chrome plate looks to be in excellent shape, dial looks good with bright puffy lume- this is a good looking watch. https://www.ebay.com/itm/284040165051Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

I would have bought it if I'd seen it. The possible WW2 veteran connection would have cinched it for me.
Personally I think it's the scuffs on crystal but who knows. The seller seems to be looking for quick bucks and $45 for a beater is worth the risk.
Anyone fancy this one? I've been watching it slowly burn down. Lots of interested parties. https://www.ebay.com/itm/313245009468Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
Same seller as the LeGant a few posts back. Wakmann Alarm that is not working. Case has seen better days but could probably get it under $100. https://www.ebay.com/itm/274527711935Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
