Hi gents!

Have a question regarding this lovely WWI piece of history.

I've got this beauty quite recently, mostly thanks to the lockdown and the watch looks 99% legit to me but I can't find a similar case in the web. This one seems to be made of silver as most of Rolex trench watches of that era but doesn't have typical hallmarks. Could you please help me to ID this case? Do I need to be worried?

Also, I will need a new (old) pair of hands and maybe someone has experience with restoring such kinds of watches and knows where one can get one without breaking a bank.

Cheers!
