Looks like it might be Valjoux 23. Look for a symbol and a number near to rim of the balance wheel. IIRC, Valjoux uses a cursive upper case letter R.

Don't see a script "R" I was guessing a Venus 150??


Nope, I think Val 23 is correct, after reviewing.

This is a 1960ties Wittnauer Diver 4000 on a signed Milanese band. Inside ticks a manual wind movement Wittnauer cal. C11KS.

Could have tidied up the crystal before snapping a shot, but I'm almost late to a 3:00 dental appointment. Not a happy camper about it and it's only a cleaning. I'm a dental wimp.

An evening with the Buren which to be honest deserves far more wrist time than it receives. One I suspect I will hold on to for a long time.
