Watch Description

I picked this watch up even though it was in rough shape because I loved the gemstones.  It was missing a stem and crown and was very dirty.  I sent it to Ken and he worked his magic and replaced the stem and crown and got it running for me, thank you Ken!  

The dial was in very bad shape.  The branding had to come off to get it clean which doesn't bother me on this one.  I had a new crystal and bought a new dark red band for it.  This is one I plan on wearing daily.  

I believe this is a First Lady "AB"

Very cool, congrats! This is one I personally have never seen before. It sure cleaned up nice. Can't argue with the linebooks or ad!

Thanks Geoff, it is the first one I have seen as well.  I couldn't stop looking at it yesterday when I was wearing it.
