Look what walked into my store today **PICS**

Look what walked into my store today.

Can a 1969 Date-Just be any more complete??? One owner, he died in 1989, and his brother had it put up ever since. That is until he sold it to me.
Case back is dated III69. Warranty 1972. 2.5m Serial. One service in 1983, by the AD who sold it, receipt for that included as well.
-Eddie

Very nice

What type of dial is that? It looks a little like a "linen" dial but not really.
What I can say is that it's beautiful.
