Finally this one was ready today: After over 30 years passed in a safe of a watch-seller in Texas without beeing sold to anyone(As I was told), the all movement been cleaned and oiled and the crown gasket was changed by my watch-maker. The original crown gasket had fell in powder and permited humidity to eat up slightly the dial...That's why there is some very tiny picks...That's what happen when it stay sleeping so long...But the mvt was perfect as it's first day.
Bracelet is original and the back sticker is still there
:D







The only stuff is that the watch is 36mm diameter and I'm used of bigger watches...So it will be little wear I guess.
But's it's a nice vintage piece.

That looks like a good one, Williamhand6.gif. At 36mm though, maybe I'd slip on a bund to add an illusion of size. But as it is on original factory steel, it's ok. Big Congrats, amigoyourock.gif

Very cool, Will. I love the warning on the caseback. That's a great piece of history there.

Thanks Oscar! Hmm ok! I thought it was a AS... I think that I must have it opened again to be suresubtlelaugh.gif

ThumbsUp02.gif Cool vintage piece. I Love the ageing to the sticker on the back as it adds even more to the 'vintage-ness' of the piece.
