Mentor Double Dial Pocket Watch

[Paul78]

Does anyone have any info on these watches? I believe it's a marine pocket watch for timing from one point to another maybe.

ive checked online and can't find much at all.

The name in the title is incorrect, it's actually MENSOR double dial marine pocket watch. Stupid auto correct!

I've found this for you. It looks like it could be French. I myself have never seen such a watch.

Good find oldhippy!!! The explanation in that link is very good.

Interesting watch, very nice. Would be nice to see inside under both dials. Does the chronograph hand go at the same speed on both dials?

Hi Guys, sorry for my late reply, been really busy! well, I've sold the watch on eBay, I've never seen one before, wasn't sure how to remove the dials to get a look at the movement, and because i was selling it i didn't want to start messing around with it.

I still have no idea whats its actually worth, but then with some things i guess its worth as much as someone was willing to pay for it. It was bought from a buyer in the Czech Republic for £738, which i was more than happy with. I seem to be getting a lot of buyers in the EU and International these days, i guess its because of the current exchange rates since we voted to leave the EU.

Thanks again.

£738 that's a nice sum of money well done.
