Been wearing this for about a week, when I first bought it (charity shop for a fast flip) I thought it looked like a wheeler dealer watch, something del boy would have on his wrist. But over the week, its grown on me.

With 17 jewels, the Swiss AS ST 1950/51 is a beautiful movement and a reliable time keeper.

As mentioned, this watch had been picked up at a charity shop, the movement would not wind, so I took it apart and gave the Royce a full service. I was surprised to find the movement was immaculate, the jewels with dried on oil, I'd assume this watch spent its life in a draw.

Look forward to selling this piece on to someone to enjoy.
