·Dear All,
This morning I was at the street market and found this old watch, Conty is the brand name ( so far not much information online) I bought it just for the two tone dial and specially for the Pontife hands, always wanted to have a watch with such hands. I wish was an Omega but sure I would get it for 20€ as that’s what I paid for the watch. It’s a jumbo size, I didn’t measure yet but must be 38mm.
The fixed lugs where gone do the add new ones and damage the actual lugs. Still no chance to open the watch but case back is in mint condition and is stainless steel. My question? Would you look for a new case or try to fix the damage lugs?
I appreciate your advice.
It’s manual wound and works ver fine. Dial also looks great as per its age,
Thanks
David
