old guy with an old watch

overdraft · Nov 28, 2019

Hi!
Finally got around to getting my old Geneve 135.0051 fixed! It wouldn’t wind anymore apparently because of a broken stem. I got this watch new in 1976 and wore it to death, until I put it away in favour of shinier things. Fast forward to getting sick of the battery watch I thought I would wear on any given day being dead and I decided to see if I could bring it back to life. Anyway, here it is!

Beautiful example that's obviously seen a lot of care in addition to its wear, and great that you have that kind of history with it. Thanks for sharing it with us!

I have not yet decided which watch to wear when I'm dead. Maybe I'll just take them all with me.
