My Grail: '67 5513(Incoming!!)

Hello friends,
I've been on the hunt for my birth year grail: a 1967 5513, and am pleased to share some preview pics of my incoming beauty!! To say I'm over the moon is an understatement. I'd like to say much thanks to all that helped guide me through the decision making process, and to Mr. Andrew Shear for a first class experience during the purchasing process. This is my first true vintage piece, and really means a lot to me. The watch should arrive Tues and I'll be waiting by the door!! More pics to follow but enjoy a few teasers!!

Yes C&I, you can tell from the use of tube rivets.
