FUN READ: 1960s Day-Date Booklet
Happy Friday Watch Fam,
I had not come across one of these vintage Day-Date booklets before and now that I have one, it's part of my fun collection and not going anywhere. In short, it's hilarious. Time capsule of 60s-era marketing of our favorite watch brand. The fonts, layout, glued on pictures, heavy stock paper, etc...but of course the verbiage is what is truly entertaining. I took pictures of each page for your viewing/reading pleasure. Some good quotes in there, :) Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

You’re welcome Aaron! And yes, booklet is in excellent condition. Glue on the backs of the pictures are nearly 60 years old now so it’s a bit delicate but other than that, a time capsule! (It even smells like the 60s!

Thanks for sharing this, Daniel.
 Interesting to see how they "quick-changed" the date in "the olden times." "Note its rugged masculine appearance . . . " (What - no women allowed? SEXIST 60's!)
