looks fine for a late 1950s to mid 60s 1159.

thank you for asking ;)
Venus 188 most probably, though have seen VERY late examples that had the same movement but already Valjoux-branded, then it's an R7730

Some weeks ago a bought my first case back opener. Today i give it a first try and finally there it is.
Finally I can say it’s the signed Valjoux 7730, not the Venus 188.
Also right now I know it’s a 1967 fabrication, papers from 1968.
