Vintage Double Play
Ok so after a years break, I have had my eye on acquiring a couple of watches, a 1675, a meters first 5513 and a non Rolex dress like a Jag Master Control

But in the course of looking for 1675, I came upon this example of a 16750.
beautiful matte dial, and I can for my own use affix it to a jubilee bracelet and a 60's more faded insert...I will keep whats original to the watch of course.

And in looking for a M first, again, not what I had in mind, but came upon this 1972 ish 5513 Box & Papers, with that beautiful little pearl still sitting happily in there.

So in looking for 2 60's watches I ended up in the disco era and the Bonfire of the Vanities, but I think I did ok...and I can continue the hunt.

I sure do like, a little Polywatch will take care of that scratch. Wouldn't mind having one just like that.
