Watch Description

1962 ??  Went thru the ads from 60 to 65 and found nothing. Went thru database from 60 to 65 and found nothing. Possibly something in the Banker line?? Found a similar case for a 65 banker but crystal dimensions were square and this one is not. The bottom of the crystal curves in both directions but I have no idea what the top looks like because the crystal was missing when I got it.  Case and movement both marked with the 62 M2 date code. No idea about the band, but it is a nice speidel. Both watch and band are clean and in excellent condition other than the missing crystal, hoping for an ID so I know what crystal to order.

Same here, no luck finding a match. Any chance there is a case number stamped/etched on the inside? These case numbers started showing up early 60s.

Unknown model for now.

Got a crystal that fits from Kurt.

He said it fit a model called a Prince

A lack of service marks may mean the watch was never serviced, but then maybe it was rarely worn as well. 

I was thinking Banker, we do have one from 1967 that is similar, but with Roman numerals. Most Bankers have the flat cases, but the '67 looks like it may have some curve, however slight. Can't really tell from the pics:

Other than that, I got nothing.

Unknown.

Looks like the model is a Prince.  This is in the 1964 Line book.
