Had this floating around in my draw for sometime.
Can anyone tell me more about it?
Looks like a swiss import then I change my mind,

Girand Watch Co S18 then poorly stamped 908715

I think it is Girard, which is Swiss according to the Gold book by Meggers.

Hi Chris

Here's my Girard. Looks like a Waltham knock-off. Fits a little loose in a 18S case in came in.

Thanks Tom/Chris

They look better made than most of the copies.

They look better but the jewels are press fit and the screws just hold the illusion
