Reply With QuoteThat is a really cool and intresting watch. I like it.
I bought this in the early 1970's from a Flea Market in Sheffield's "Top Rank" for £1
Not working but a Silver Case.
In the 1980's I took it to "Charles Coopers" in Hatton Garden where they made a chain for it, as it is a chain driven movement.
They charged me £30 a bargain for a hand made chain
It keeps lovely time and I love it.
In the 1990's I bought the silver chain and albert from Castleton in Derbyshire.

That is very nice. Do you have any explanation for the numbers on the dial?
They're there to help tell the time...Originally Posted by Carlton-Browne

I think he's asking about how to read Roman Numerals.
Certainly looks better value than any watch I've paid £1 for.
As far as I have been able to ascertain the numbers were the maker/watch number. Apparently made in huge volumes That's all Not traced a maker though
:-)
I do like the Roman Numerals on this dial compared to any wrist watch ;-)
An Absolute steal!
