Hi team.
I picked this up cheap from Japan and I wonder if I’ve bagged myself a bargain. I think it’s a 70s piece based on the case shape but Waltham’s history is a little convoluted and I believe they were bought by a Japanese company possibly in the early 80s so perhaps it’s from then?

It’s in remarkable condition with great case and nice patina on the dial. I like the purple/blue which seems anything from black to purple depending on lighting.

Opening him up. I see the movement is pristine and appears to be an ETA2824 with 25 jewels. They seem to sell for 200 quid on their own, so I’m well in profit if/when I flip it!

I’d be interested in anything that people could offer to expand my knowledge of this. Also, I’m not sold on the bracelet. What strap do you think I should go for?

Pics would be helpful now…
