Talk about daily wear. That is a well-loved watch.

I love finding a watch from a drawer like that. You find that nougat in the band clasp and under the bezel. Sorry to ruin the nougat for any mars candy bar fans out here !

Nice! Really like 'em when they're raw like this. It'll be fun to clean up.

The rusty felt sub-bezel on a 1675 is a rare find, sweet!

That's a beauty! Kinda threw up in my mouth a little… A few more years of scientific advancement and you can clone the original owner to add to the provenance.
