Do you have an extra two lying around
1947 is my birthday, I know, I'm OLD, but still act like a brainless 18 year old

 

And a top year, Jim.

 

1973 Deville 'Deauville' ref 155.0005 :

 

Wrist shot when u get it

 

Not a purchase, just an extremely kind gift from the family of the owner.

 

Even sweeter the fruit that falls from the tree.

And those two are swwwwwwwweet!

 

How could I resist?

 

Sweeeet, definitely a box grail for Longines collector..........

 

what goes in there. ?

 

You have one - but I don't know if it's the correct box for a caliber 380 version or not.

 

Better than expected.

It should clean up nicely, and I don't think the movement has ever seen a watchmaker's screwdriver.

Some quick snaps before the band goes and the de-gunking begins.

 

Looks a beauty, Jim.

 

Yep, pretty happy with it.

To keep it's nautical theme I need to get that fixoflex bracelet off and replace it with something more suitable.

I was thinking a dark grey NATO nylon but I'm open to suggestions

 

I'm too young to have served in 'nam or I could've fabricated a cool
war story for this one.

some poor hipster got dumped off his fixie on the Willy/B and I've decided to take on an easy, inexpensive project .

New crystal, easily available in the US I think.
New stem, ditto

What's with the hands/ are they trashed or is that your photographic skills shining forth

Sweat pit on the caseback needs cleaning out and filled, maybe epoxy metal?

Do you know who the contractor was? Benrus et al?

No?

Hamilton I think (thanks Uncle Google)

Nice catch
