Very nice! Looks to be presented on the original band as shown in linebook. Doesn't get much better than this,

Ken you either do an amazing job restoring these beauties, OR you are very picky when it comes to buying a watch. Either way the condition of most of the watches you post are amazing.

That or you and Geoff have timeshare in a time machine.

A bit of both, I think; yes, I tend to be very picky about the watches I acquire, and I hope my restoration skills continue to improve the more I do these. I will say that it is getting harder to find good examples that do not require tons of extra effort or parts to get back into shape.

Thanks everyone!
