My dad gave me this watch when I was about 16 years old and told me to hang onto it! I am 47 now and I still have it so far! This watch is great because it winds itself by any movement, which was a great feat for that tim period. It still keeps perfect time and date, but I was saddened to see a hairline crack in the crystal the last time I took it out of its box. The rubber band I believe is original, and it shows signs of wear with a small piece missing near the clasp.
I love having this around for now and thought you guys might like to see it!
BROKE OR NOT IT IS SO COOL THAT YOU STILL HAVE IT. MY DAD GAVE ME HIS FIRST GOLD POCKET WATCH. HE GOT WHEN HE WAS 16. I,M NOW 54 .AND SOME DAY I WILL GIVE IT TO MY SON .IT HAS NEVER BIN USED.STILL IN THE BOX. (GOOD FOR YOU) R.S .
Yes, I am going to give this to my son to pass it on. It still runs perfectly! I just need a new band for it.
I am glad everyone likes it!
What a beautiful watch. A watch to treasure because it came from your father.
Try to purchase a new crystal, they should be around somewhere.
