Roamer

Restoration project,bought at a car boot sale. This is an attractive little watch, much smaller and thinner than the flashy Sicuras but no less interesting - I particularly like that 'red arrow' seconds hand.

The case appears to be 'gold filled', ie gold plated, with wear to the edges. There's some discolouration to the face, too, but despite labelling this as a 'restoration project' I'm starting to like it the way it is - all I've done is give it a perfunctory clean and polish the crystal.
