Horological Meandering

This one was one of my ultimate watch dreams come true. I got it a while back. Must have searched ebay 5 whole years, and every imaginable sales-site--then one day, of course, by accident, found it . I expected it to be SOLD, but incredibly it was not yet...  

I love this kind of stories. Your watch is beautiful, indeed. A true piece of the past on your wrist. Just one question: Will you wear it, as it is NOS? BTW...A true beauty. I love it! Nicolas

that much sweeter given the time it took to find it. A question for you; Do you know what year was it made? I really like the look of these on the drilled vintage driving straps.
