Who knows what it will be..

it has arrived😁

to my surprise the case has fixed lugs, I almost cut them open thinking it were shoulder less springbars😲😵‍💫
anyway it is a very nice watch with a sharp case, radium hands and a Valjoux 22 movement in a fine condition. it definitely needs some loving and some gaskets, but that's no biggie.
amazing to think that it is somewhere between 65 and 80 years old.

original finish and original crystal which looks more like an emerald gemstone than a translucent crystal

it looks like the springbars are riveted on one side while sitting flush with the case on the pusher side.

beautiful understated caseback that has survived the wear and tear over the last decades.

I hope you enjoyed my little pictorial and if you have any info about this watch please share👍

Brilliant, was really looking forward to seeing it. Well done 👍

thanks, im really happy it arrived.

I think Valjoux 22, it is unsigned but comparable with other V22's. I haven't seen this case with another movement yet.

That case really is a gem. It was either well loved and looked after or it was kept in a drawer most of its life. Should clean up very well.

Thank you jimmy.
according to the son of the original owner it was stored for the last 4 to 5 decades.

I'm not here to guess what watch is shown in the OP.

I'm here to ask @Koen what the f@*k happened to the cat in your avatar?!?!?! I guess I'd look that pissed off if I was a bald wrinkled ugly cat too.

for those interested here is a naked dial shot

It’s back. I’m very happy with the new crystal, but very sad that the chrono seems to have stopped working🙁.
Didn’t noticed at pickup as I was in a hurry.
