Any ideas on the watch brand or model?
I bought this watch a while back from a eatch thrift shop for roughly 200egp (roughly 7$). Didn't come with its original bracelet, but I bought this jubiliee style bracelet to it. The sizing was off by a mm so I sanded down the edge to fit it.
Does anyone have any clue on the brand or its history? Its a mechanical 17J, though I don't know how to identify movements but a 3rd party watch shop confirmed that it has its original movment.

I have no idea what it is, but I like it! Looks like a design from the 1970's to me .
I couldn't find any infornations about this watchbrand. In so e german forums I found Informations that this was a brabd during the 60's maybe 70's and they used reliable movements.
I don't know how much 200egp are but as long it's not dollar or euro I think it's ok.

200egp is about 7usd
I think that might be a re-dial from the 80's. Not sure, but a lot of 1970's-80's "fake" watches had that dial design aesthetic and featured the term "de luxe" - either way, case looks cool!

The watch company drom the little info I found closed shop in the late 60's~70's. As for re-dialing that maybe the case, hence why I'm looking if someone has more information about it.
I see a number of these in different colours for sale on Etsy. That seller says they are Franken watches assembled from Swiss parts. I can’t find any other references.

In this case it wasn't a bad deal.
