    Now the football is finished...

    Welcome @Mne - quite an entrance.
    Very nice Connie
    14382 de luxe
    Gold dial with arrowheads - so quite special
    Around 1959/60
    Case is pretty good - bit of wear on the lugs but not unusual on an 18k case.
    You also have a bit of rotor rub so get it serviced if you intend to wear it.
    The crown is a replacement -but who cares when you have a watch like this one.

    Congratulations - a very desirable watch.

    I’ll just add that I’d personally take that bracelet off so it doesn’t chew the inside of the lugs.

    Very nice! I see it has not been a stranger to the watchmaker's! I hope you're not planning to sell it, because even though it would fetch some money it's probably more valuable as a memory of your grandfather.

    Yes, service it before wearing it or winding it fully. If it's been a few years the lubrication dries out and running it will cause excess wear.
