hate to resurrect an old thread as my first post, but this (1675) & google how I arrived.I purchased mine used in 1977, I checked serial # years ago and it was around 1961 birthdate (if I remember right), I had it serviced and had the bezel replaced (I hooked it on the side of a livestock trailer & it was gone) in 1996, in 2007 cracked the crystal & had it replaced & serviced. It has been worn everyday (24/7) for 34+ years and whenever I have to adjust the date forward (non 31 day months), it is about 4 minutes slow. Best $1500 I ever spent.
I realize this is probably of little use to 'rdparri56' 18 months ago, but I thought it was interesting.
