Hi,
Firstly hello, this is my first post, have been sneaking around in the background for a while and you seem to know your stuff, hence registering and this post!
My lovely fiancee bought me this watch for my birthday a couple of years ago. I've never worn a watch before, or any other kind of jewellry but I love it. It's not great at keeping time, the second hand is a bit wonky and the strap is breaking but I still adore it. Now I want to find out a bit more about it. It's made by a company called Sully, but a guy who did a quick repair on it last year said this was likely to just be a brand-name put on an unbranded swiss watch. It's a 17 jewel incabloc movement, but beyond what is printed on the face, I don't know anything about it.
Has anyone seen an indetical/similar watch? I assume it's from the 50's going by the design, but I'd love to know for sure. Also, is it likely to be a cheap and cheerful, fairly basic watch churned out in large numbers, or something a bit rarer/more special. I don't care about the price, I'd never sell it, but if it was valuable I might need to insure it. What I'm really after is any information on it, whether it's well though of as a maker/movement/etc..., how old it is, and anything else people might know about it!
Have attempted to post some pictures too....I hope they work.
Thanks in advance for any insights!
Nick
