Sunburst Green Sowar

 Though not my favourite dial this is a nice well running watch in good condition. This is 1960/70s I think and I would guess made for the middle east market.


Another FHF movement (372 I think), this watch hasn't seen much wear and the cuvette has kept it clean inside. I don't know if the placing of smaller movements inside large cases is a common practice but most West End Watches of this era seem to do this


Looks like it's probably been serviced recently, it has a brand new strap on it (I probably paid less than the strap cost for it), though it does have at least one bridge screw missing

The non-quick set date demonstrates very clearly to me why they invented quick set...

Note no "PRIMA" on the dial (probably not enough room).
