65 years old?!! That is in amazing shape. I guess it's true, people tend to take better care of gold watches.

Not really. It's a rare anomaly, as most gold watches are polished at some point.

Nothing special here but I picked it up on eBay for around $10 using a $5 ebay coupon.

I figured I could turn it into a keychain or something. I’ve just been fiddling with it for the last year while on conference calls. Who needs a keychain when you barely leave the house anymore.

Brief story: Took my watch off and was happily surprised by the caseback. I had forgotten that it had this cool caseback.



Made me wonder about all the other interesting casebacks and looked for a thread but didn't see ine.

If you have a favorite caseback and would like to share, please do. Even if it's the same as this one, your photography will make it unique.

Sapphire casebacks and movement shots would also be interesting.
