Not expensive do not mean it is rubish

You pick up those watches that belongs on the wrists of passioned watch lovers.
Those watches that needs to get out of a drawer, and need a fresh bath in the hands of a watch maker.

Angelus is for what i know have some name. I guess it made still watches, but i am not sure.

I know a vintage watch shop, but the watches have proper prices because they know what they offer. A few Minerva’s for example.
I do not take the plunge, i do not know how a small watch looks on my wrist, vintage watches are small as i see many times they are around 34mm case sizes, while i use to be wear at least 40mm case size watches.

Not machined engined dial as a steel watch is humble, love is more important than some rare metals.
Heritage is for me more important than a newby made of gold. So that’s why i desire such a Minerva.

I saw this watch months ago in an antique store and I couldn't keep it out of my mind. So today I bought it. The movement is going to need some looking after but I bought it regardless. I think its a Schild movement but not sure. On closer inspection the ...

The two-tone looks awesome...

...and the dial is interesting, although I don't think it is guilloche. Hopefully the movement will clean up well and you'll have a keeper. I like it : )

I was wondering about that because the cuts aren't very sharp. Stamped maybe...?

Maybe...but I don't think anybody was spending the time...

...to do guilloche on a stainless steel watch that probably retailed for a couple of hundred bucks... But I still like it : )

Thanks for your comments.

You are probably correct considering what guilloche looks like on a Shapiro or Breguet (and the resultant prices). But I like it too and I'll get more than my moneys worth in enjoyment.

That’s a handsome dial. I can see why you went back for it.
