75th birthday watch
Nowhere near that age, but does not hurt to think ahead. Anyone with some suggestions?

I would take something that

Ronald, I know you have an appreciation for Seiko, Grand Seiko. How about an Eichi?
The original seems like the perfect size at 35mm, but obviously to find one would be a serious undertaking. The current reference is 39mm, and perhaps has a better (by that I mean cleaner, simpler, both are still porcelain) dial. Outside of that I would e...
