Hello,
After lurking around these forums and trying to learn about older watches, I finally bit the bullet and acquired my very first Swiss watch. The watch is an unknown Roamer with a simple, three hand dial, and the numerals 3, 6, 9, and 12. It has been serviced, and the watch is keeping time with a 30+ hour reserve. The dial is clean, and the caseback has a few scuff /tooling marks. I got this for a reasonable price equivalent to $40, from Delhi.
However, being inexperienced in Roamer movements, or Swiss watches for that matter, I am unable to identify the possible manufacturing year, or the movement/model name. Pictures follow.. Any help in identifying the watch would be greatly appreciated. I'm not keen on opening the back as I don't have the relevant skill, but it seems to be one of the MST3XX/4XX calibre movements. I hope the images below are useful.
The text on the dial and caseback are as follows:
The dial reads:RW
ROAMER
INCABLOC
17 JEWELS.
At the bottom it says "Swiss Made".
The back dial is inscribed as such:
Along the circumference:
*ROAMER* STAINLESS STEEL WATERPROOF
In very light engraving: MOD 414-112 2.005
In the center:
SWISS MADE
BREVETE

Thanks!
