A classic simple heirloom for my wife's wrist. Her father bought it in Luzerne for his father... Thu, 29 October 2015 18:57 Go to previous message

sometime in the early 60s. He got it back years ago when his father had passed. He recently gave it to her and after a spa visit, will be fondly and proudly worn by my bride.
PS: I told the watchmaker to overhaul it and provide a new crystal, but to leave all the years of family wabi on the case and original USA made expando-stretch bracelet. I believe it is a Ref 1002.
