Watch Description

Don't know much about this watch other than what is labeled on it.  Appears to made in 1963 from the date code.  I believe it is a manual wind, but it is currently not functional.

I have not opened up the caseback, hoping to avoid that when identifying as I don't want to damage it.  I do plan on having it serviced to get it working again.

Thanks - This was my late father's watch.  As you can see, it was a gift from my mom to him.  :)

 

Thanks for posting that picture, I have to see if I can find a similar strap to bring it back to original.

I'm impressed, that is a pretty wonderful heirloom. Your Mom had impeccable taste :o)

Yes, it deserves to be brought back to life and fitted with a nice black alligator band (or even Lizard) like it was originally gifted!

Nice example, Jaguar "D"

Model became Goldcraft "B" around 1964

I suspect the case does not open in the back; access is through the top.
