I went ahead and got the watch, I ended up getting a decent deal, I know it’s not perfect but I couldn’t pass it up.

here she is after a little clean up (sorry for the poor photos):

 

Nice looking watch, very cool strap.

 

I think it has the perfect vintage look-congrats!!

 

Very nice!

 

Looks very nice, and you seem to be happy with it which is most important.

 

Beautiful watch!

 

Very nice... and the photos are far from shabby!

 

Thank you everyone for the comments! On the wrist today and I am enjoying it.

 

Dear OP: if you correct the subject line to 145.022-71, this will grab more attention. Nice 71 example you acquired. Congrats!

 

Nice! Congrats!

 

Nice watch ! What strap is this ? It seems so comfy and soft.

 

Thanks!

Strap is a unlined Horween Shell Cordovan , color #8.

 

Thanks. From which seller ? Horween doesn't produce the straps but maybe I'm wrong ?

 

#8 is my favorite, great leather, great color!

 

Your correct, horween here in Chicago only produces the raw leather, other people craft it.
