What a great story...but please wear the watch...it was meant to be on your wrist. With as much history and life as it has had, it can do with a little personal attention...

Enjoy your treasure...

I love reading stories like this.
Thank you for taking the time to tell us about it and for enclosing the photos.
I was pleased to read that the watch was overhauled by somebody who knew what they were doing.

But PLEASE,PLEASE start wearing it and enjoy the pleasure that it will bring you.

Regards

Tony

Thanks for all the replies. I'll wear it once and a while to let it out, but being real careful at the same time.
