    heres a pic or two of my Excelsior Park-do not know much on these and the usual ones sport gallet by racine on dial.............43mm s/s case but it wears really comfortably-date wise around late 60's and this one has none of the usual oxidation to dial,in fact almost mint dial and case. has 40/68 in house EP movement and keeps real good time-Anyone know more on these?MikeB

    A few more pics...this watch is now sadly diminished by a watchmaker - who has a reputation as a vintage watch-savvy guy (that's not an oblique reference to any of the watchmakers involved on this forum) who decided to relume the hands without my permission using puke-green lume

    You do know it's possible to have the lume stained to match the dial, right?

    I do, I do. I sent it out for exactly that and got an unasked-for service and no re-lume. I'll leave you to guess who is to thank for that.::facepalm2::
    I haven't quite mustered the courage, or identified the watchmaker to send it out to next.
