I like mine from '72...It really should get more wrist time. Not perfect but it works.

What I find particularly interesting (aside from the five minute track dial which I love) is that the Tritium on mine is still useful in a dark environment. Clearly prior to the T<25 period.

I went 1503...that's the league I fit in financially for a head- only deal. But one of these- on bracelet-is the bomb-dot-com! ��

Space for showing off, why not? 😉



I blame it on the autoconnect.

Nice thread, Willy. Love those wideboys!

I've been bitten twice too. This one has been winning over in recent weeks.

Just buy a DD. Flipping a Big Block has regret written all over it.
