For a 50 year old watch, my expectations were low and imperfections were not a concern as long as it runs and gives off a certain vintage vibe when worn. This it has in spades and I was particularly drawn to the weird looking bracelet (aka lobster bracelet) which surprisingly, is very comfortable on the wrist. I'm not a vintage guy per se but since meeting a vintage watch collector not too long ago with a huge collection, some of his enthusiasm has rubbed off and I am able to acquire from him certain starter pieces for now. Enjoying the ride so far.
