Back from service. Before service gained 1 minute/day, now gains 10 sec/day and lots of scratches on the crystal polished out. :thumbup:

One of the rare few which has made it through my extensive flipping activity. Mainly worn by my SO. Very pretty watch, and was bargain priced.

Thanks! It sure is. I love old watches, makes you wonder what story they've got to tell. Where they have been...what situations they have been witness to!

I particularly like watches from the 60's as the size is just spot on, but they still feel 'modern' enough to wear on a daily basis, if you so wished :thumbup:
