Rare find and besides it looks to be never polished or serviced or even washed!

I was expecting a fake Rolex, I thought every grandfathers sock drawer came with one! Disappointed doesn’t begin to describe the array of emotions I’m feeling right now!!!

You should save this heirloom but don't send them to an AD, any laundromat can do a good job without compromise originality

I don't recon or know if unpolished plays into this, but they are definitely unwashed!!!

Not sure they have the correct provenance to be called vintage. Perhaps neo vintage.

Nice find!
Use a plastic protector to keep it in pristine condition! Don't let AD clean and polish it!
