Hi Nilo, a similar watch was sold at Sotheby's today - I had a look at it and it had the same case back as your friend's watch. The lot was no. 282, a ref 2077-1 from 1945 and a 33.3 chro movement.   All the best.

Mr. A. never ever repeats a watch. I'm sorry that I didn't had my ball with me (to open the case). Cheers, Nilo
