We can help you a great deal more if you can open the back of the watch, and get three (or four) numbers adn write them down. If you can write down the other items you see that is helpful, too.

Photos of the movement and case back, if you can show the detail sufficiently to see the writing are a great help.

The movement of the watch has two numbers on it, one likely three digits near a capital Greek letter Omega (calibre number) and 8 digits (movement serial number).

The inside of the case back has a model number, usually 4 or 5 digits (varies by age) and if an older watch may have a different 8 digit number (case serial number).

Serial numbers help date the watch, the calibre describes the movement quality and the model number may even be able to tell you the original retail price.

Great watch, by the way . . .
