Just listed elsewhere on the MB. My 65 (or so) year old Certina with Kurth/Certina 28-45 movement. A favourite of mine. It’s not perfect, having been brought back to life after having been almost destroyed by its farmer-owner. Case re-chromed, dial re-done, many parts, and thorough servicing. Bought for $2.00 (she was asking for 50 cents). I have spent a packet on it, but love often gives us reason to be irrational, doesn’t it?
My old 1601 on my own handmade black stingray single piece NATO strap with contrasted white minimal stitching and polished hardware.
Sometimes the local citenzenry will ask, “Hey, Mad Dog...what fun things did you do today?” I often reply with, “I wound my railroad grade 23j Waltham Vanguard 1908 AND observed it happening...AND then I then I took pictures of it...AND then I posted those pictures on omegaforums.net...fun times!” So...after hearing my reply, the local citizenry will sometimes comment with, “LOL...I don’t have to wind my watch...it’s a blah, blah, blah!” So...Mad Dog will always comment with, “Your life sucks...I feel sorry for you!”
