Description: RUNS GREAT! Vintage Swiss 1930s WYLER Steel CLAMSHELL 15 Jewels Manual Wind This is a beautiful and rare watch. Lovely creamy silver dial, which I believe to be original. The clamshell style case appears to be steel, though maybe chromium, as I know that material was used for cases by the brand at the time as well. Lume has come out of minute hand. See photos. Inscribed on the back ‘AJ Sabalauskas’ - after a bit of research I found that the man was born in Pennsylvania on June 6, 1917 and passed on March 9, 2004 at the age of 87. The watch winds, sets, and runs nicely. Keeps pretty good vintage time too. I don’t know the long term service history for this piece though, so no guarantees. Comes on a brand new 14mm NATO strap, ready to wear and enjoy! Photos taken on my 7.5 inch wrist for your reference. Review photos carefully - this is the EXACT watch you will receive upon purchase. The photos are the most important part of the description. They were taken in natural light at 2.5x magnification and have been UNEDITED. What you see is what you get. The ‘Item Specifics’ section of this listing provides more details as well. DISCLAIMER: When in doubt, refer to photos. While I always do my best to provide the most accurate description, I’m not an expert on every movement, model, or brand - just a guy that loves watches. Feel free to contact me with any questions or clarifications. I’m happy to give more background info about a specific piece if I have it. Please make sure this is the watch you want BEFORE bidding. FINAL SALE - NO RETURNS! Thank you
