Hello everyone, I need help identifying this model.

I only know it's a bumper and 14k gold-filled, but I'd like to know the specific model reference. It's impossible to open it and I don't have it in my possession.

thanks in advance

If it’s a family watch, take it to a proper local watchmaker and get him/her to open the case and photograph the inside case back, the movement and take better photos of the face.

The dial, from your awful photos, is a proper mess and looks like it was badly cleaned/repainted at some stage.

If it’s not a family heirloom, it’s a complete mess and money pit and you’d be well advised to steer clear of it.

It looks like something similar to a Ref 2576, probably a Cal 342 bumper movement but the case looks a bit unlike others I've seen, thinner lugs and a keyed case-back. Very worn though as Spruce says above, don't buy it if its for sale and only restore it if it has great personal value.
