    I thought you all may like to see my Minerva watch that my father bought for me in 1963 for my birthday.I had it locked away and forgotten for the last 50 years and have now had a full service,a new glass fitted and a top of the range Omega leather strap fitted. I love it ,a beautiful watch.
    I hope you agree.

    That is a very beautiful Minerva. May it be passed down through the generations or at least through the family.

    Thank you for your comment as it brought a lump to my throat as my father is not with me any more.

    Wonderful. I think it is powered by the Valjoux 72C.
