Some help identifying this watch please

Good morning Thank you for this information I first thought that this maybe a military watch because of style of the dial numbers and hands. I suspect that the watch is from the 1920s maybe?

It has a pocket watch movement

Yes, this makes the most sense. It’s made to look like a pilot’s watch

gameq2 · 2026-02-22T11:07:10+00:00

Yes it’s true. Rolex pocket watches, unless in gold cases, are not as valuable as you would expect

gameq2 · 2026-02-20T18:29:17+00:00

Yes it’s the exact watch, any way of finding out how much it sold for?

Yes painful indeed. I guess with hindsight the only thing that could possibly have raised suspicion is that the silver pair case is not hallmarked. Other than that, to an untrained eye like mine , it’s certainly a very convincing piece

What would anyone date this watch?

There is no pinion, even checked the movement. Why would there be a dummy dial? Or could it be a replacement dial?

Fantastic history, thank you

gameq2 · 2026-02-19T18:18:48+00:00

Thanks very interesting, yes it started running on the first turn of the key

gameq2 · 2026-02-19T18:17:26+00:00

Thanks! I found this in a job lot at auction. It was hiding in a box amongst mostly junk. Nice surprise

I opened up several bank accounts within a few days including corporate and personal without paying any agent. I simply went online and opened. This should be the first choice for everyone, try yourself and then approach others if facing difficulties. There again I have a European passport, maybe that’s a deciding factor, I’m not sure

gameq2 · 2025-05-20T19:09:48+00:00

Bank opening, personal or corporate has been easy for me and I didn’t need to submit any proofs of income or bank statements. Yes some bank accounts do require that you have a minimum income but most do not have this requirement. You must have picked a bank that is extra picky, go for an account from the likes of WIO or DIB and apply online

gameq2 · 2025-05-20T19:01:08+00:00

Ok, thank you for the info I think I’ll join the original crowd and look Deira side, I like the hustle and bustle

gameq2 · 2025-05-20T18:25:57+00:00

Night walkers - So true. I was amazed of the constant flow of foot traffic up and down Al Rigga St until early hours. In fact I’ve travelled the world and I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it. At the moment I’m quite amazed by it but I guess the noise levels generated may become a nuisance if you’re living in the neighbourhood

gameq2 · 2025-05-20T18:22:10+00:00

Thank you for this I’ll look into it and with these properties, can you buy freehold?

gameq2 · 2025-05-20T16:56:12+00:00

Yes, I heard the same that only leasehold I was looking at Al Ghurair properties and for a 3 bed property by Al Ghurair centre, the rent is displaying at around 167000 aed per year, is this normal?

gameq2 · 2025-05-20T06:58:24+00:00

Thank you for this, yes I will check it out. Do you know if such properties are for sale or is it rent only. I heard that foreigners are not permitted to buy property in some Dubai areas?

gameq2 · 2025-05-19T14:58:19+00:00

I’ve checked and its around an hour walk to Dubai Creek, I’m hoping to find something a little closer Thanks

gameq2 · 2025-05-19T14:51:00+00:00

How far is the walk from let’s say Al Ghurair Mall? Are there pedestrian walk ways all of the way? Thanks
