Very nice! It literally looks brand new! It's great to have an heirloom too remind you of your father. I can't wait to do this for my kids.

Thank you for sharing that Michelle, looks great!

Seems to be in tip top condition for 52 years old. I hope it brings fond memories every time you wear it.

Yes, pretty good condition. He's had it serviced but I believe hands etc. are original. I do love the faded bezel
