It appears to be the mid size version of what is referred to as the "tear drop lug" case, dates to about 1950. | ||

after searching the net for alot more time i still cannot find this watch. my local watch specialist is quoting �500 ($1000) to repair and recondition my watch, this sounds fair to me. unfortunatly it has been misstreated in the past, i want it looking new and working again and enjoy it on my wrist, it would be nice to know more information if anyone has any, thanks guys | ||

I've seen and sold the watch many times, especially in the larger size of 35mm. I think yours is around 30mm, so it's considered a mid-size. I could do it here cheaper in the USA, but it isn't practical shipping it back & forth and waiting 3-4 months for the dial work. $1000 is probably what it's worth, so it may not be advantageous for you to spend that. | ||

thanks zaf, although its "expensive" to repair, its such a shame to have it in such a bad condition, its a beautifull watch that i think is worth spending at least $500 on? | ||

Well, $500 is not equal to $1000! I think at $500 you're OK. |
