Hello,
I have a private label watch, which may be a Waltham but I'm not sure. The markings are "CB", "17 JEWELS" and "J.O. PATENAUDE NELSON B.C." Serial number 2766480. Further back in the movement it is marked SWISS but as I'm new to the hobby, not sure if this is significant. Image attached. Thanks, Chris Boyer, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

Hi Chris,
No expert, but looks like it could be either A Omega "Regina" or possibly a Longines movement.
I'm sure others will chime in here for a definitive answer.

Here is some info I had found for Larry about the jeweler;

Most likely a Longines. Commonly seen as Canadian private label movements. The spotted finish is a give-away. Would be interesting to see what's under the dial.
