Just purchased this 1675. It’s a classic “barn find”. I bought it from the original owner who hasn’t worn it in almost 20 years. The case has been polished but otherwise it’s 100% original. The papers even included the original sticker. IMG_1078.jpg

Thanks Joe, I didn’t get to much info other than he was in the military and bought it in Singapore, which the papers confirm. I think that’s why he didn’t still have the box, not easy to travel the world with a watch box.

He brought it in to my AD and they called me first. Guess I was number one on that list at least.

BTW the minute hand isn’t bent or anything that’s just the reflection.
