Hi all,

I just brought home one Revue Sport that ticked when I bought it, but it stopped and I can hear that main spring is probably broken or demaged:-|
Anyway I would like to know more about model and mainly movement as it is not marked. I have seen few on internet but most are marked D......H, and mine is not, as it is made before WWII. Also I noticed that Revue relaunched ths model and they write 30's or 50's on dial.

Here are some pictures:

I don't see an exact movement match on Ranfft's site

If it's pre-WWII, it's not by much.

I would guess it's late 1930s or early 1940s and Germany invaded Poland in 1939

I hope there is a picture of the back in second post.
There is engraving B.N. 25.4.1936 on case back.

BN are initials I guess and 25.4.1936 could be purchase date or birthday or some other important date in previuos owners life. It is my qualifield guess, that watch is from 1936. But movement is unmarked. Did Revue use certian movements at than time or were they making their own?:thanks

Thought I would post a pic of my relaunched model. Interesting contrast of old and new. The new is also a hand wind mechanical. I think it is an in house movement.

I have seen few of this relaunch models and also relaunch of automatic from 50's that is marked 50's on dial, as yours is 30's;-) when I searched for info about mine.
