Description

My son found a beautiful old gold Arnex pocket watch, 17 jewel, incabolic, swiss made, in a vacant house he bought.  It looks so dainty I'm wondering if it is a _ladies_ pocket watch. I can't make out what the designs are.  I'm trying to find out more about it but don't know how to open the back to see if there's any information that might be helpful.  The front opens fine by pushing the stem down.  The minute hand is still running but the hour hand is bent or broken. Can you tell me anything about it and how I open the back?  Thanks

The last thing you want to do is open that watch. The case is so soft you may damage it beyond repair. Let a reputable dealer open it for you.
