Loving this watch I know nothing about
Hey guys, I took a low risk bet on another vintage piece. It is in perfect order and recently serviced, I'm loving the look and feel of it and it works well on the spare Coloreb I had. Very happy indeed!
Does anybody have any info on Rodines as a company because I can't find anything online bar a few other examples of other watches. The movement is a manual wind, but with no other identifier on the visible plates. Let me know what you think and any info would be great

Stumped me as well,couldn't find much,googled, trawled the other forums nothing on the selling sites. Be interesting if you could get the back off and post pics of the movement. Its a sweet watch though.
A photo of the movement will or should tell us something. I have not come across this before and Mikrolisk doesn't have anything. When I hit a dead end I research jewelers and department stores from the era and location.
The logo is too suggestive of Roamer from the 1950's. And there were brands named Rodania and Rodana. I have questions about the handset, I would have expected syringes and a black sub-second.
But, really the picture does not tell me enough and the internet is not helpful. I see one other example out there.
Perhaps this could help? Like I mentioned, there is no marking on the visible plates to identify, other than the unique font on the regulator

Thanks for this, I am usually quite good at finding these things out, but this one really has me scratching my head!
Edit: the sub seconds are black, the picture must have caught a stray lick of light
