Orfina Watch

[zombieraccoon]

Garage sale find, I can't seem to find another even similar online. I know very little about watches, but am trying to learn more

Dial reads
Orfina 21 Jewels Incabloc Swiss Made

Back is really hard to read but says
Electronically tested Incabloc Waterproof Stainless Steel Antimagnetic

It does work and has been keeping accurate time for about 24 hours now, it also appears to have overwinding protection, or perhaps there is something wrong with it? , as it's very easy to wind and after winding unwinds briefly for about half a turn.

Any help would be appreciated, I am pretty new to watches.

Well I suppose I will let the market decide, I have searched and searched, just going to throw it on the bay at a high price, or best offer. Will see what happens.

I have tried researching on various sites for past sales. really can't find one like it, and the price range for this brand is from $10 up to several hundred for some models. So I am really at a loss. I started it as an auction with a $20 start bid. no bids yet, very few views, and only a couple watchers, so I am not going to get my hopes up.

Hard to say. So much of the value in an old wristwatch is in the name applied to the dial. What the case is made of and any unique features it may have is also a factor. I'd sell just the watch head, without that old stretch band and make suggestions in my listing as how nice it would look with a new leather strap. Sometimes planting ideas in perspective buyers heads helps in a sale. I've done that a lot in my regular job and it actually works sometimes.

Hello. I got one Orfina watch too, although mine is automatic. My dad gave it to me 45 years back. I have it since in a box, since it wasn´t working. Few weeks back I took it to a local watch repair guy, highly recommended. He put it to back to work. He was impressed how my watch is so well preserved. Now is up and running, pretty happy I could restore it. Now is my dress watch.
I found one pretty similar at: https://www.ebay.com/itm/vintage-or...532534?hash=item46c34112f6:g:De0AAOSwZH5gUWpw
