VINTAGE 18K CYMA WATCH

View attachment 1080375 From my personal collection, this solid 18K pink gold CYMA is almost the perfect vintage watch in my opinion. At about 37mm it feels modern while remaining classic. It has scratches and some minor dents and dings as you would expect with a watch this old, but nothing that has prevented me from wearing it. The previous owner stated it was serviced, but I have no proof or paperwork of that. As you can see, the movement is very clean. It is keeping good time (about +30s/d) and has no problems. Mounted on a faux ostrich strap.
This is a perfect piece for a man or woman who would like a classic gold dressier watch without spending a fortune. CYMA, by the way, was a venerable Swiss manufacture that went the way of all things in the "quartz crisis." Their military watch is part of the fabled "Dirty Dozen" and commands a very high price. So, there is some distinguishing history here, too.
I will be offering this on a watch forum, but I think the piece will find some more distinctive appeal here. I am not a frequent seller here, but my reputation on a popular watch forum as "lalcott" and on eBay is impeccable.
Size info:
Diameter: 36.6mm (wears bigger than expected)
Lug width: 18mm
Lug-to-lug: 45.8mm
Thickness: 10mm
