·The "Show Us Your Vintage..." threads can be fun and enlightening, maybe even more so for lesser known brands that don't have their own dedicated subforums. The Italians call this type of thread a censimento, or census.
I'll start with a new arrival:
1967-ish 44-jewel cal MS 471 Rotodate, all original down to the dry-rotted band (which I just replaced after a service, retaining the original buckle). The Stingrays are sexy, but this model is a greater watchmaking accomplishment for Roamer/Meyer & Studeli, as it was manufactured entirely in-house... and they jeweled it up to the max.
Later versions of this movement had fewer jewels - see this excellent reference:
