I bought this Pinset silver watch last weekend, but I cant find any maker marks on it at all. The watch still works, even with all the dirt and grime.
The escape wheel has the raised up club feet on it, if that makes sense.
The only thing I can find written on the movement is "retard" and "advance".
The arabic numbers around the outside of the dial appear handwritten, with the 55 being the most evident, with the 5s not matching each other.
The case is .80 and is marked with Swiss, and the Swiss .80 bird hallmark.
Can anyone give me an approximate timeframe this watch was made, and who made it?? I plan on cleaning it and replacing the hands and crystal, but wont do much else with it as far as straightening the case.
