I've had mine since new, June 1978. A tad beat up after a couple of decades climbing in the Himalaya and Karakoram.

It’s always been very close to my heart. Such a very cool watch. This one owner full set example deserves so much more wrist time. How many 1655 fans are out there ???? M. ...
Wow great example.

It never complained. I did have the crystal replaced once in the mid 80's as it was so beat up. It and a Great White Sea Dweller were my constant companions.
Very nice first series Bill.

Once I started a fight with a bar. Not in a bar, but with an entire company that had rented the bar. Not started as I’d say they started it. When it all got defused, my friend turns to me and says “ Roger, you know I like fighting “ we played ice hockey t...
