One of the many in the 23 series. Nice watch. It will have a two part stem so you can pull on the crown and it will seperate, then you open it from the front and take the movement out. Pics of the movement may help to ID it further than generic 23. If you are not comfortable with removing the movement, take it to and experienced watch repair man and have him do it.

Thanks for sharing it with us and I feel we should be able to ID it.

I would be tentative on the Excellency ID, looks close to me.

How cool, to still have your 1962 graduation gift, Congratulations!

Thanks Mark. I forgot that they were autos. Just day dreaming I guess.

Tentative His Excellency.

JP, haven't heard anything of a member selling off. 

Nice watch and a true heirloom, you want to hang on to this one!
