    Hi Everyone, I inherited this watch from my Dad. I never saw it before and he never wore it so I guess it was his Father's before him.
    Would appreciate any help dating or naming what model it is. Back has nothing on it at all.

    Thanks in advance.

    I guess late 1940’s

    pop the back off and take some pictures of the case back and movement for additional help.

    probably no model name

    welcome

    great heirloom

    Nice heirloom!

    It probably has a cal 30. The crown is a replacement. Original dial. No particular model for this kind of watch.

    Hi
    A Lovely heirloom to find. I would also date it to the 40’s. I would expect it has a 30T2 movement inside. What’s the diameter of the watch without the crown? 32/33mm?
    Get the watch serviced by a local watch repairer that deals with vintage watches, put a nice leather strap on it and enjoy. These movements are bullet proof and will run and run.

    As stated the crown is wrong, but finding an original may be difficult.
    Regards
    Chris
