Identify an old watch
Hello:
Can anyone tell me much about the OYSTER LEIGH model. I have one that my father left me and even the guarantee that came with it. The watch was bought in 1948. The number on it is 452106. it is much smaller than the EXPLORER which is the watch Dad bought to replace it.
Thanks
'Geo.'

Jeff: Thanks for the reply. The watch definately has OYSTER LEIGH on the face of the dial. My father and his family spent a good deal of time in Florida in the early part of 1900's but that is the only connection I can think of to Florida. If someone coul...
