@Tubber was kind enough to sell me his Airman, which also is from 1956 and is powered by a Felsa movement. Attaching the watch to this thread seemed a good place in order to end on a high note and to add a bit to the Airman background.
The new band arrived today and this is the first wrist time I have had since it arrived.
It's a fun and attractive watch. The sweeping small lollipop is mesmerizing. I also like the pre-Glycine crown dials. This particular watch is a bit unusual as it does not include the automatic writing on the dial and has a nice splash of red in the date, along with the metal surrounding the window. It's in great condition, having been serviced by
@James Sadilek.
Sitting here in the yard on a sunny day makes me feel like the luckiest man alive. Wishing the OF family peace and happiness.
