Watch Description

I couldn't find this guy.  Got him in a lot recently.  Still can't believe I'm finding unseen watches for me after all this time.

Movement is L6 but something is I think stamped after?  Maybe a 7?

Case is stamped L9, which I though would be the appropriate watch age.

Lug tip to tip:.  32.46mm

Case without crown:  24.88mm

Case top to bottom sans lugs:  25.24mm

Unable to match this one. I have had a few 21-jewels models in the past that are hard to identify. Unknown for now.

Annnd... Of course as it always goes.  Never seen a model before ever... All the sudden you see a second one danged near at the same time.

This one also looks like it has the measles.  Sooo... paint flaw?  Or an attempt at a textured dial?
