ON THE INSIDE BACK CASE NUMBER2783
THE CASING HAS NO IDENTIFING NUMBER.IT DOES HAVE THE WORDS.. CRYSLER WATCH COMPANY, SEVENTEEN, 17 JEWELS
SWISS, UNADJUSTED, YXD
THERE ARE 2 DIAMONDS SET IN A SILVER TRIANGLE THAT CONNECTS THE WATCH TO THE BAND.
THE NAME CRYSLER ALSO APPEARS ON THE DIAL.I TRIED TO SHOW THE THICKNESS OF THE CRYSTAL, BUT I IS NOT VERY CLEAR.
THE 2 NUMBERS 783 AND 2783 THAT ARE ON THE INSIDE OF THE CASES HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO IDENTIFY.I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE NUMBERS MEAN,AND IF ANYONE HAS EVERSEEN OR HEARD OF THIS WATCH COMPANY. I'VE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL ANTIQUE DEALERS BUT THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THE CRYSLER WATCH COMPANY BEFORE. IT ALSO RUNS LIKE IT WAS NEW.

Re: ANTIQUE LADIE'S WRIST WATCH
Hi--Crysler was my grandfather's business from 1936 to 1974. I just sold several of this type of watch at auction for about $200-$300 each. Sorry, I don't have any more.
