This is my Dad's watch which I have inherited. It is a gold manual wind chronograph, which I guess dates from the 1940s or 1950s? Cosmetically it seems in very good condition. Apologies for the poor photos.







It does not work at the moment so I am planning to get it serviced. I'm not intending to sell, as I think it is an attractive watch and I will wear it on occasions. I would be curious to know what it is and whether it has any value.

The markings on the back appear to be as follows:

In the top box 18K 0.750
Under that 2997
Under that in the odd shaped box - difficult to make out but maybe 167

Yes, now repaired by Joe at very reasonable cost, and working beautifully. Very happy to have it fixed and know what it is. Not for daily wear but will be used on the rare occasions when I feel the need for something dressier than my Pelagos.
