Hello.
just found this two in the attic, and just wonder if anyone can tell me how old they are, and where they come from. Dont find any discription, other than what it is on pictures though. the first one works perfectly, but the other one needs a tool to get winded so i havent had the opportunity to try it, since its missing.

The first one is a Arnex from the late 1980's early 1990's. the second one, we would need to see the movement, that should lead us to some help for you
No Kevin , the first one is late model, I have the twin to it and I bought in around 1987 , new from K-Mart. If minitarget pops the back , they will find a 17 jewel swiss made Arnex.
@ Kevin. it's a seventeen Jewel wind up. They are a very nice timepiece and are a great carry-around watch. Haven't ever had an issue with them.
Made a new post with pics from inside of both, even the newest to :) thanks
