The Vintage Wrist Watch Company

Description

Gents 1960s Andrew wristwatch.

The watch has a Swiss 17-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely. One of the plates on the movement is stamped 21 jewels, this is obviously a later replacement. There are a couple of empty retaining screw holes but these screws are not required as the movement is designed to be retained by the gold plate that runs around the edge of the movement.

The watch measures 32mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The main body of the case is gold plated while the screw-on case back is stainless steel. The case looks good to the naked eye… there is a little marking and some rubbing to the plate if you look very closely.

The back of the watch states that it is water resistant but, as with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from water and moisture.

The lens is in lovely condition (some reflection showing in the photos).

The signed dial is in lovely original condition with original hands, centre seconds hand with red pointer end and outer minute markers.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
