My Retirement Watch

Thought on my retirement i would present myself with a watch for long service, that's what i told the Company Sec (wife). Any ways i found this beauty which was up for a private sale not far from house, so i jumped in and bought it 2018 36mm with the Jubilee hidden clasp and Roulette date wheel

Congrats on a great find. It's truly a fantastic watch. I picked up the same reference (with the black dial) in Dec 2017 from an AD. It's a precision engineered watch with a great look and beautiful proportions. I love the low-profile hour markers and the cool minute track in Romans. Just an all-around great watch. Mine says hello; pic taken in Jan 2018. Regards, -Rick.
