Hi all, saw this neat Minerva on the internet. Can anyone tell me something about it? I don't know much about this watch, other than it has a Valjoux 72 movement. A desirable watch? Rare? The case diameter is 36mm. Thanks!

Here you are: Editors picks: A Couple Of Photos Of A Minerva Vd 712 Swedish Army Yes, civilian or military, they are desirable. As for the case, it is more 37 than 36, as far as I remember. Go! Best, Nicolas
As Nico wrote…
The military ones make for a wonderful collectible if this is your theme. Likewise for the civilian ones - and the size is pretty nice, too. Are you considering one?
Thanks Brotherman
Question for those who know Minerva. The secondhand with the arrow and the crown look a bit off. Do the dial in hands look original? Thanks.
