Hello guys..

I have ni words to descibe how happy I am now..

yesterday I saw this watch for sale in the classifieds, I couldn't believe my eyes because my country is a small market with very few collectors or true lovers watch.
But it happened that this watch somehow ended up in my city... it was put up for sale by the son of the original/first owner who bought the watch on one of his trips.

The watch was serviced once, and that was about 25 years ago (according to the owner).. the former owner says that the watch has the original box and papers, and maybe a certificate from the service, but he can't find them and that he will give them to me if he finds them (that would be phenomenal), but I won't hope for that because it would be too much to expect something like that.

The watch is generally in excellent condition, all parts looks great and in good shape and nothing is damaged and everything is functional.
The buckle and bracelet are very strong and there is no stretching.

Now all I have to do is see how it works, and take it to the service center ..
I can't stop smile from the heart and satisfaction.

nice greetings to everyone.
