'51 Oyster Perpetual Semi-Bubbleback

Hello all,

I am new to the forum as a member, but have lurked for awhile. I'd like to share with you pictures of the SS SBB I had overhauled.

This belonged to my late Grandfather, who is thought to have purchased while overseas working. He was known for doing manual work while wearing the watch. At some time years ago, the watch was reworked, and whoever did it misspelled "chronometer"

Of interest to me-I have never seen this dial type before.


Thanks, and enjoy!
