My old friend was digging around in some old cedar chest he has and came up with the watch his father gave him for High School Graduation in 1956. I looked at it and think it is toast on the dark side.
Perhaps someone out there can make this old man smile again by coming up with a movement and dial.

Front side. All the metal to metal parts are rusted shut but the jeweled parts still move and the balance wheel actually oscillates.
