Default Sleeping Beauty
In the fairy tale, the princess slept for 100 years, until she was woken up by the prince. The analogy is not perfect, because this beauty slept for only 50 years, and I'm certainly not a prince, but anyway. This is my second 1MWF Signal. It is from the 1960's and never used.








My first Signal watch for comparison

Beautiful classic, and something you don't see many of. Congratulations on a terrific find.

I've always said there is beauty in simplicity.

Enjoy the hell out of it.

Looks to be an 18 jewel GMT handwind ... what movement used?

Handsome is the word I like about this timepiece ...

The movement should be a 2612, but I'll open the case back tomorrow and take a couple of photos. I'm curious myself. From what I have learned, the 2612 was very similar to the Adolf Schild 1475 movement.
