·The story as I was told it. My grandfather wasn’t a rich man (delivery driver for ColaCola in the 40’s through 60’s) but this was his ‘everyday’ watch. Unfortunately the bracelet and was lost years ago as he liked twist o flex better.
After he died a someone did ‘something’ to it - no idea - but my father wore it for years this way. Check out the pics of the stem. The knurled knob is gone and the remains of a black gasket/washer crumbled off the stem when I got it. Teh case/crystal comes off way easy - like with a plastic tool and just a little pressure. Didn’t dare take it any further apart.
It runs, and the time sets if you pull out firmly on the stem while turning.
Anything special about this model? Or just get a decent leather strap and enjoy it the way it is?
TY!
first time on board, hope this meets the rules. Also have my great uncle's f300 constellation, beautiful but not running, hoping it is just a battery (and need to source the right kind)
