Minerva wristwatch

Minerva wristwatchNice little swiss wind-up of which I know nearly nothing; another watch of my father's with no history. So far I haven't been able to get the screw back off to look at the movement, and I don't want to risk breaking a watch that runs.

It's quite small and thin so I assume it's fully jeweled. I normally like slim, light watches, but the dial on this one is about the diameter of a US quarter, which is small to me (I think it's unisex size) and a little hard to read. Funny that I wouldn't mind it in a tank (rectangular) watch, but don't like the same size when it's round.
