Hi,
I'm from Holland and I have the same wrist band.
It belonged to my grandpa's mum.
I have the same questions you do.
I believe Alpaka is a sort of silver. not sure.
Good luck!

new information on Oma's watch by: theresa
I was looking at the watch this morning and noticed a tab in the back. I decided to open it. I was totally surprised! It has a few more markings and words.
An arrow and under it 0.800 inclosed in a rectangle.
The engraving says, "1re Qualtie Cylindre 10(or 70)Rubis", then the numbers 1053 with the number 3(under the 1053).
