Old Cognac Frapin Wrist Watch With a Nice Leather Strap

Truly sorry about the iPad pictures, I don't have my usual camera with me when I took this.

No markings on the caseback. But strap says "Genuine Leather" though. Which is thoroughly broken in.

 Found this old "Cognac Frapin" quartz wrist watch that has a very nice brown genuine leather strap. If I give the strap a good clean it should be usable for many more years. It is a 18mm wide strap. It has hardened a bit over time, but developed a nice broken-in weathered leather look.

 The watch itself? Well, the roman numerals are nice, and the dial design is not bad as well, but the I have a good reason to think that the battery has probably leaked and destroyed its internals, although I have not opened it up yet. The diameter of the case is (I did not measure) probably about 36mm.

"Cognac Frapin" is a Cognac producer, so I am guessing this is a souvenir watch from that company. Very nice watch, for a souvenir - especially that strap..

What could have been...

I saw two vintage watches online that seemingly available for purchase:

A manual-winding Citizen which I never seen before, and a brand called Alco I never heard before, also handwinding. Both don't have a seconds hand, have roman numerals, and very nice clean design. So far so good, but when I inquired about it the seller told me that he had already sold the Citizen... 

Well, ok but look at that Alco, it is such a classic beauty! I especially liked the super large & clean dial, thin bezel. So I asked about it and the seller said, yes, he has it!!

Yes!!! SCORE! I thought, then we discuss payment etc...

...but suddenly the seller said he went to look for it, but couldn't find it. :(  According to him that means he must've sold it at some point and forgotten about it..

Oh well, I am so disappointed to finally get a chance to get some real classic beauties, but it is never to be. Hopefully, it is still somewhere around at the seller's place, and there is some chance he will find it and send it to me.
