My watch was born on the same day...

...that several men broke into the Watergate Hotel.

Ref. 5512. II 72

You know the actual day it was completed? Or sold, maybe?

No I don't...but as a vintage lover, I love history. I thought it would be interesting to associate our watches with a notable event in history. I wasn't trying to be literal...just close based on the time stamp on our cases. In my case II 72 is around May...and as a kid I remember this dominating the conversations in my house. YMMV
