This is my mother's watch. It's an Oris T and is marked "anti-shock" on the front of the dial with the words "Fond Acier Inoxydable" on the back. She was given it in the mid 50's but it may be older. It's a wind up model which I love, the only problem is the bracelet has broken at the back and I am trying to find out more about it so I can get it repaired. Any further information would be appreciated

   This is a very good watch. The bracelet can be easily replaced if not fixed. There are plenty of vintage bracelets out there. If you take it to be repaired, make sure you are dealing with a reputable company. I have heard many stories of "friends of friends" who repair watches, and they are never seen again. I have known a jeweler that was to fix my wife's earrings, that after having them for 8 years, returned them, unfixed, after my wife hounded him, just before we moved.

   Thank you AR8Jason and Kerry. Yes it is a lovely watch and when I get it repair it will be going to a professional repairer. Too much history to risk it and I do want to pass it on to my daughter the same as my mother did to me. If anyone happens to see these bracelets around or knows what the pattern is called I'd really appreciate hearing from them.
   thanks
