A few pics of this Wyler watch I piked up this week. Smaller size watch, maybe a youth model. Looks pretty nice I think, Seller stated non running, but I opened it, a front loader, with lots of scuffing on the back where others have tryed to pry the back off, and it's running right along. Any comments, opinions ?

Movement. By the way I removed the sweep second hand as it was loose on pinion.

I know it's not a Patek or an Omega, but still a nice older watch, I'd like to have at least a ballpark age, I'm thinking 1940s to early 1950s . Been looking on the net, saw a similar watch, movement looked the same, with a black dial. Case appears to be stainless steel,, 30 mm diameter, excluding crown, 36 mm including lugs.

hi Evan : the rotor does not go all the way around or spin freely ,it just bumps the winding gears ahead a bit at a time,sort of like an old car jack ratchet,hence the BUMPER nickname Wink
