Salmon fishing off coast of SF 1972 with my dad wearing his Constellation 168.016 ( he was one watch man)

I think a thread of Dads or granddads or other relatives wearing the watch we inherited would be interesting.

There’s been a couple- here is one I started a few years ago

I will revive that thread with this and other photos. Maybe @wagudc and @Dan S might as well.

I first posted the photo of my dad in the thread when it was new.

Pretty sure this is the IWC on my father's wrist in the late 60s or maybe 70s.

I love seeing photos like this. Watches handed down, used by the next generation etc. Maybe try and re-create the photo? something fun to do.

So another update in 5 years?

Seriously though, that Speedmaster looks brand new for a 50 year old watch. Congrats!

Didn't even take 5 months. A new bracelet is easier to find than a new dial.

Looking good. Personally I would have held onto the old dial as a memento.

I do still have the original dial. It is a momento.

it ended up as a beautiful Speedy! Congrats for the result and for the patience to find the right missing parts. It fully deserves this care!
