    I just picked up this fun little vintage diver from 1967. It is all original, and has a killer patina, plus the cool bakelite bezel. While not a FF, it is darn close!

    Nice! I'd be inclined to have the hands sensitively re-lumed, and would definitely replace or polish the crystal. The dial should look terrific when the crystal has been addressed.

    Congrats!

    I have an email out to Edvi at ABC about the hands, and agree on the crystal too. It arrived yesterday and only got a quick hit of polywatch.

    Congrats! I think these are awesome watches and you don't see them very often. Enjoy it.
