hi. this watch is an east german umf ruhla fob. it is constructed of yellow metal, im not sure if its gold or not. the watch body is exactly 1" in diameter, with the outer housing (which is a brass vehicle wheel with a resin tyre complete with tyre tread pattern) it is 2" dia. the watch body rotates through 180 degrees to enable manual winding and, snaps into place by way of a sprung ballbearing in the watch side. it hangs on a leather strap. the winder is stiff but working and the watch keeps good time.

Low value (unless it has gold content). I believe this is East German.
