I notice that beer looks pretty damn tasty and it is 3:18am in morning here in the desert. The watch is very sexy too. You are lucky guy
A proper OF story... middle aged fellow who used to prefer modern watches, sees an old watch he didn't even know existed before listed FS on OF by @JimJupiter . After contemplating for some time, he cannot help himself and ends up buying it. Having seen many lovely custom straps made by @Fost , he then reaches out to have one made special. Having read multiple accounts of whether to service or not, and knowing full well that whether a service is needed or not always "depends...", he takes it to one of the best and gets a proper service by @Archer , just in case. The story doesn't end there of course, because wearing it happily is simply not enough... but he ends up posting about it in as many threads as possible, because the joy of a beauty like this just must be shared! (right?) TL : DR -- Dugena chrono today!
Loaner from a friend ended up becoming an acquisition. Translation: NEW ARRIVAL! A well worn, 1967-ish meters first 5512. Needs a sympathetic servicing, especially a crystal polish, but I am pleased! YaY!
I started with my Montreal but only to bring it into the office to send to its new owner. Fortunately my 176.005 was waiting on my other wrist ready to take over.
