Vintage Gents 9ct Gold Roamer Watch and Fixoflex III strap - 1947
This has been a family item since new, but hasn't been worn for 35 years.
NOTE - the watch winds up and the second hand moves/ticks, however the minute & hour hands do not move after winding. It likely needs a service or maybe a repair. Otherwise the watch is in very good condition considering its age, with no visible scratches to the dial or glass.
I've researched the watch as best I can and provided details as follows:
- Mechanical manual wind up
- Inner mechanics stamped "15 Jewell Swiss Made"
- Dial marked "Roamer Swiss Made"
- Type 1 watch case (I think?)
- 9ct gold fully hallmarked watch case
- Stamped "DENNISON Made in England"
- Hallmark, 9 - 375 - anchor - X. (The watch case was assayed in Birmingham and the date letter X symbol appears to be the design from 1947). See picture.
- Other markings include: "A.L.D", "12383" and "116808
- The strap design is an expandable Fixoflex III stamped "RW" (Rodi & Wienenberger". It is gold coloured on the outer and stainless steel coloured on the inner.
