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

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.

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 👍
