| this is a really sweet piece, given to me from an estate clearance...lots of wabi and case wear but the movement is super clean and keeping great time. Had it serviced in 1995.  | |

| Sweet looking piece....don't worry about the wabi and patina on the dial...it adds character!!! ____________________________________ Later, Gary Remember we are the caretakers of mechanical art.....

| Tis my oldest piece, Tom, and really nostalgic one since I was born in 1948, and my friend, the same age pegged the Felsa movement and watch at around my birth year! hahaha!  | |
