This is a US-cased smaller mens watch with the ultra-thin calibre 625. This movement was later highly decorated and put into a 1984 Louis Brandt watch (photos later). It's a simple but accurate and very reliable movement.

Simple redial would correct the damage to what may have been redialed before -- say $125.

To each his own . . . . if you would wear it. If not, due to size this will be a tough watch to sell.

This is what a calibre 625 looks like "dressed up" as a calibre 626
