Anonymous Peseux 7066

A while back I bought a bundle of watches on eBay described as old wind up and battery watches. One certainly looked like it would be an ETA movement which I particularly enjoy working on so I bid on them, and was successful. Transpired it was an ETA, but what surprised me was the watch I’m showing here which was unbranded and not working.

 

The movement is a Peseux 7066 in a 20 micron gold plated case. After a service and new mainspring the timegrapher results are quite pleasing. It’s a shame the branding has been deleted off the dial. I’m not sure why people do that as the watch identity is now lost. Anyway, here it is cleaned, lube’d and ticking away nicely.

It is a pity It looses its identity by doing that, a shame as its a nice classic face.

Mark Lovic has a good video showing how he uses film free decal paper to reconstruct a watch dial (i think it was a Seiko). I’d like to know what this dial originally looked like so I can start on the text design.

Any identifying marks on or in the case or movement? It may even not be the original movement/case combination.

The case has no markings on it. Unfortunately I didn’t think to inspect the reverse side of the dial for clues. The movement, case, dial and spacer ring all look to marry up to well to be a bodge together watch.
