Are you serious?  You found this in a wall!!!?  Incredible.  That is a sharp looking watch.  I'll take a wild guess and say early 70's because of the style of box, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.  Found in a wall...

[coxey2000]

  Great find.  Looks to have original everything, box, papers, band, just 

[coxey2000]

Is that a good thing that I have everthing and its all original

[Sea Wolf]

YES, do not throw any of that away, it is worth more with all the paper work, tags, box and original band.

[coxey2000]

ok I also have the second box two so I'm not going to throw anything away. thanks guys for the info.

That is a late 1960's manual wind dress watch. While not worth a lot, it is NICE, and as you have the original band, paperwork, boxes, and tags, it is worth more than they normally are. It would also make a nice family heirloom if you got it serviced.

  whay would anyone hide a watch in a wall!!?? nice find and so complete. unbelieveable what people will do. were there any dates etc on the warranty card?

[coxey2000]

No. um i took it down to the local watch shop. He told me that model number would be 1237 17j- sb. the 1237 is just a number and the 17j is 17 Jewels. then the sb is a stinless back. but he all he knew. He told me to look it up on the web. I been looking for months.lol I even called zodiac and they couldnt help.
