I just found out about this forum from a subreddit today and joined so I can post a pic of my daily wear since I bought it in 1977.

It has never been serviced and has been in continuous use since the day I bought it. I used a camera phone so the quality is lacking.

Looking for a "vintage" leather strap for this 1967 meters first 5513.

Any suggestions?

Beautiful patina! I totally agree that wearing a vintage watch with a nice beautiful even patina really does give off a nice warm feeling. Whenever I wear my mid 50s Tissot Visodate which has a dial that has aged to a beautiful honey color, I have that same exact feeling. I've been giving it a rest lately so that my other pieces can have some wrist time, but I really should start wearing it again.
