Thanks for the kind words. It's easily one of my most comfortable watches to wear.

Wow. Thanks for the additional pictures. Love that reference. What year? Are you the original owner?

It's from around 1968 and I am not the original owner. I actually bought it from someone in Brazil but did not get the history of the watch.

‘69 one owner on left, ‘68 one owner on right, both recently passed down to us as the next generation. Both Vietnam War combat pieces, Marine & Army, respectively.

Wow that looks great. How often do you change the bracelet/strap? I've always been chicken to do it too much. Bad experiences with lesser watches I guess...turned into a project...scratched up the underside of the lugs and bracelet.

Thanks a lot.
Changing bracelets from time to time (but not very often).
After short time I always return to the oyster-bracelet cause it‘s the very best match to a Sub. I change bracelets carefully, but don’t think about things like micro-scratches on the bottom of the lugs. I take care of my watches, but really do wear and enjoy them daily. So....not so much thinking....more enjoyin‘!
