need help identifying this watch
This is my dad's watch and it is very old one. >50 years.
I would like some help to identify what kind since i googled the name to no avail. It says on it FALKO and it is Swiss made. i did not open the watch my self but it runs good. has any one heard of this name? The odd thing it has Arabic fonts on the dial which is unusual for old Swiss watches.

There have been thousands of Swiss watch companies.
It is a cottage industry we're different people make different parts of the watches. Long story short, Falco probably bought the movement from one company the case from a second company and the dial and hands from a third company and put them together. ThiS type of watch company went in and out of business alot. So, about the best you can do is identify the watch movement on this. |
