New (to me) incoming
Just picked up this new (to me) piece. Had my watchmaker checked it all out original everything and he said it doesn't need a service yet (last serviced in 2003 but it had sat in the drawer since). Nice matching creamy patina on hands and markers, bracelet not stretched at all. Open 6 and 9 date wheel. I just couldn't pass the deal by and pulled the trigger. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics just can't wait to share. I will put up better ones later when I have some time.

Btw it's a 1675 5 million serial so it puts it in 1978-79 vintage.
