I inherited this watch 18 years ago and only now feel responsible enough to wear it.
I didnt know anything about it so I took it down to Grays antique market for them to appraise it.
Turns out its a 1940's Cortebert with 18ct case. They took it apart and its all running extremely well, very clean inside and over the past week it has kept its time impeccably.
Very happy with it as its exactly what I was after. Simple and understated.
The face is the only thing that is a bit grubby. not sure what to do about it
