Nice. I did an extensive comment about Arnex to a post on CW a few years ago but it looks like the poster deleted their post. I will try to recreate it if someone doesn't beat me to it in the next few days. I am a bit busy at the moment.
Beautiful watch!! I love the face of it as well as the scene on the back cover.
kwqd,
TY! I do not think that they are very valuable (although they often sell for $100-$200). What I read talks about them making the watches in the 70s but the engraving is dated 1969. I just loved the cows on the face and the fact that it was engraved for the lady from the estate I got my Sherlock Holmes items from.
jscott,
Yes, I really love the cows.
Gorgeous face it looks very Tyrolean, and lovely engraved back scene - super find!
Hope you are weathering the storm OK. Here the winds are howling & streets are flooded, just hoping we don't lose power. Stay safe
Newfld,
Thank you!
Funny you should say that because I was thinking the same. A few of my ancestors from way back came from that area.
