toocan Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 It was a bargain and I fell in love with the dial. It has a handwound movement and still keeps good time. I know little about cyma except they they're now Chinese owned. Anyone know much about them, the age of the watch or what causes the dial to do this?

cc33 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I think that happens when water or moisture gets between the dial and the paint or whatever the dial is coated with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toocan Posted December 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 that makes a lot of sense, there's a plexi retaining ring that is loose and spins freely, so perfect for moisture. I've just bought some jewelers glue to fix it down. I never thought water damage could be appealing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toocan Posted December 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) I want to say this is between late 50s to late 60s. Manual wind? How's it running? I actually like the dial, it has character. Yep - it runs totally fine. Gains slightly but not significantly and the reserve is over 24hours. I'm glad you think so too - i feel it could be plain without it!
