Hello
On Thanksgiving I had to take out a box of valuable jewelry. I found my dad's watch. I don't remember him ever wearing it. I believe it would have to be from the 50's? I wound it up and it still works. I have tried to look this watch up but I can't seem to find anything matching. Does anybody know anything about it? Is it of any value? Thank you for any info

Just found the exact watch style in my dad's jewelry box and I am having the same dilemma trying to locate the style and year. My father's watch has a mesh bracelet type of band. Very nice design and style to the watch. Going to have it cleaned so I can wear it. It is still running nicely.
