    Hey all,

    Would like to know more about this tiny Roamer watch belonged to my grandmother. I'm guessing the year of manufacture could be 50s-70s? The watch still works..

    Also, what does the following mean as marked on the watch?
    • 17 jewels
    • In Cabloc
    • LUNETTE
    • PLAQUE OR L
    • 20 MICRONS
    • FOND ACERINOX
    Thanks in advance..

    • 17 jewels The movement has 17 jewels to reduce friction
    • In Cabloc Incabloc is a tiny spring device to protect the balance staff from shocks like being dropped on the floor.
    • LUNETTE The bezl holding the glass
    • PLAQUE OR L The bezel is gold plated, in fact the whole front is gold plated
    • 20 MICRONS Thickness of the plating.
    • FOND ACERINOX Stainless steel, what the rest of the case is made of.
