The spring-lyre of this Caravelle N5 11OWAC appears to be rose-gold. I've seen pictures for 3 different apparent surface materials. Can anyone provide info on the affects of different materials and what the current common practices are? Thanks.
Pocketwatchdatabase has the movement as a no. 667 but, the only other example listed is noted as a wrong serial and a 870 movement? I'm not sure of that changes anything.
I appreciate it, also the g is fancier and kinda spins into itself a little. You can't tell from the pic and I can barely see it with a 10x loupe. There are a couple BG trademarks but they are pre 1922 and Austrian, which probably rules them out.
What does the BG stand for and why does it appear between the 14 and Kt? I don't believe it's a trademark and maybe it has to do with the gold itself? Thanks.
Is this a RAF strap? It's od green and is what I suppose is nylon. The holes are melted, no metal retaining rings and the clasp is blackened not painted.
It was previously mentioned and I've noticed, that sub seconds seems quite unusual. Did the model 870 all have sub seconds and I've just not noticed? The 21j version I assume did as well? It is a 14k white gold case, it made no mention of solid, rolled, or filled. I should have taken a picture...
I'm not sure, t was my great grandmother's watch. I believe that is what's on her wrist in this picture. Would you happen to know what numbers on the movement are in reference to the caliber? Or otherwise?
The one I have is the heavy duty 660, lifeguard version 1981-1168. I've heard this one is less common and it's in pretty good shape, original crown as well I believe. Radium lume is still in good shape.
