Simple test for a 5408
In Response To: Possibly ref 5408 - calling Mark Moss?? ()

The Valjoux 69 movement in the 5408 (and all the watches on that page) is pretty tiny - 10.5 ligne is less than 24mm. So even with the spacer we can see in the photos, the 5408 comes out at barely 30mm across.

As the case for Donald's watch looks a bit different, I have a feeling it might be one of the larger watches that uses a similar dial design to the 5408 but a Valjoux 23 for a 36-38mm case.

Donald, if you give us a rough measurement of the width of the watch, excluding crown, that will help us know where to go next.
