Hey everyone, attached is a pic of some of my watches that are clearly non-Rolex. I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction to have two of them evaluated. Both watches in question belonged to my late father, one was his French Foreign Legion watch (manual wound) and the other is an automatic that dates from the 1970's I think. No one has been able to tell me anything about the watches or manufacturers. The wooden watch is a fun Canadian made watch that people always ask me about (more than my GMT II) so I though I would include it in the pic.

My french is lousy but looks relevant ;)

I figured that because I am part of the Rolex forum and it is full of (always online) knowledgable people I would have some luck. I was just hoping for guidance, it wasn't my intention to annoy anyone by posting in the wrong forum.

You have some very intriguing watches. And bold to display them on the Rolex sub-forum. "L'audace, l'audace, toujours l'audace" - Napoleon (or some say Danton).
