See anything different about this watch? Besides the fact that it has a sterling silver case?

No crown, bezel wound?

No crown.

oh yah, I'd have fingerprints all over the inside of the glass, bread crumbs in the movement.......


Now this would be a neat idea for a SF240 key wind.

Does the bezel thread on?

Yes, bezel threads onto the midcase. The movement holder is on a hinge that allows it to swing out of the midcase so you can access the crown.

You think the movement is a Cortebert product? R&S was a British company that didn't make its own movements at that time, but imported them from Switzerland.

I'm not sure of the movement. Interesting watch. Did you just pick it up?

I've had this watch about 20 years; I got it at a pen show long before I had any interest in watches or knew anything about them at all. I just liked the look, and it wasn't very expensive. Google searching now, it looks like these are "hermetic watches" that were an early attempt to make watches waterproof:
