Bracelet has folded links on one side, solid on the other, and the wrong end links. The pics are too blurry to see any dial details.

Maybe take the hybrid bracelet off and see what's revealed between the lugs. With that date-wheel, it could be a 7021, but the photos are awful.

Photos are rough, bracelet as mentioned just parts. Date engraved on back, lug profile, and red datewheel indicate 7021. Dial looks legit with tremendous margin for error based on small photos. Service insert.

Dial looks like it might be relumed for how white it is.

Hands are close too - just no way to tell with such small photos

Well I went ahead and brought the watch. My photos are a "bit" better. I'll use some polywatch on the plexy. It's stamped 7021/0 between the lugs.

Gents,

Appreciate your thoughts on this one. Marked 9411/0 between the lugs and serial 88**** on the opposite side. Been in a drawer last 28 years. Movement is marked 2784. Bezel rotates too freely as though spring is missing.

Here's the movement.

Good looking flake there. Great patina as to be expected if it's been in the dark for so long. Case and crown guards look pretty nice - if polished definitely was a long time ago. Would be nice to see a pic of the Caseback and with bracelet removed. (Edit - exactly as expected. Very nice case and strong lugs)

Snowflake above also looks pretty nice case wise and dial/hands can be all original but I would bet they are service pieces as is the bezel - I've seen real light/creamy original dials/hands but almost always have really faded bezels due to tons of uv exposure over the years. Mine is one of those.

Also bezel is going to rotate in both directions with no click as this has no click spring. FYI

Thanks for your thoughts. Feel right but bezel will rotate on its own whilst worn. I was worried that the movement should have etched titles in gold??

I have seen this less decorated style more in other non-sub models but have seen photos of them in watches in the small period that was 9411/0 mid 70s rather than 94110 afterward. Even then they are still the exception.

Linesiders,

Many thanks for your comments and the links. Delighted with this find, it was my fathers watch so an added bonus.
