(The black sharpie numbers inside the caseback are from my jeweler. He said he does not etch his numbers inside rare and vintage watches.)
Winding Crown mark:
Patent Oyster (No Swiss Cross may indicate early timepiece)
(My Jeweler indicated the lock down crown and case tube have great condition threads.) See Pic!
The new crisp leather band was put on at that time. I have never worn the watch since my jeweler went over it.)
The is one small ding in the caseback. See all the Pics. My jeweler did not want to polish the case out because he said collectors prefer them in their vintage condition. I cant remember if this was a new crystal installed or my jeweler cleaned it up.
(Someone took very good care of this very vintage watch for some reason. They must have had some memorable attachment to it.)
