Dear All

I am struggling a bit with this watch i bought i a market. It has a working quartz movement, but i suspect the movement is a replacement and the bracelets it older.

I would like to establish a period and any information you may spot

regards

Julian

Hi Julian ,

N10 under a crown is the maker's mark for; Niekerk, Grooth in Gouden en Zilveren Werken, formerly known as J. Niekerk b.v/n.v. Registered in the city of Schoonhoven from 1970 till around 1997.
The sword mark, standard mark for; small work silver minimum 833 fineness= 83.3% pure silver and used on small work without date letter and office mark and in combination with maker’s mark. In 1953 the sword mark with numeral fineness introduced.
Your last image; mark is a weight indication mark; the weight indication mark shows a number, to obtain the gross/net weight in grams multiply this number with 5.These weight indication marks consist of a series of 20, with the numbers 1 to 20, used 1906-present.
