Still honeymooning with Thursday afternoon's purchase, the Mido Ocean Star. I am still trying to find the right strap or bracelet to go with it. I like the contrast of this brown band with it, but am considering purchasing a shark mesh bracelet. If anyone wants to make a suggestion, I am all ears. I am including a pic of the case back which shows the case/serial number. The info online for Mido serial dates of their cases is pretty scant. I believe this to be from somewhere between 1961 and '63. If someone can narrow it down further for me I would appreciate the help, as I happen to be born in 1962, so it may be a birth yr watch for me. Thank you in advance for any help I may get.

My Grandfather In-Law’s East German Glashütte GUB 1964 ‘Spezimatic’. Caliber 74, 26 jewels, ‘Chronometer Accurate’ but not chronometer certified. It set him back 190 Deutsche Mark… which was a considerable sum in East Germany in 1964. I love its story and its retro vibe.
