Help / Info on an old watch

[fizzwheel]

Hi

Last time I had a query on an old watch I got some really useful help from here so hoping you guys can help me out again

I've been given my Great Uncles watch as my family know I like this kinda thing. Pic below, this is the wording on the dial

Royle
Swiss
Automatic
25 Rubis ( I am guessing this means Jewel"
Incabloc

Its not massive by modern standards, I say about 30mm case diameter

It runs and appears to keep time OK

If anybody can give me any info on it I'd appreciate it, I didn't turn up my with my google search although there was one the same listed on ebay the listing didn't have much detail either

The watch has a 25 Jewel Swiss automatic movement with Incabloc shock protection, The watch was manufactured by a company called Royle HTH

Pics with the back removed would probably be helpful

The style of the watch puts it in the early 70's.
My guess is that you'll find an ETA 2783 inside.

It's a decent enough movement, but I'm afraid Royle aren't haute horology. ETA movments are sold in various grades, the watch I linked above appears to have the lowest grade (movement in that one may have been replaced, it's an auto movement, but the word "Automatic" is missing from the dial.)

So I'm sorry to say that you have not inherited something you can sell and retire on the proceeds. But that isn't a comment on the watch's value to you. Enjoy it in good health.
