Beautiful watch - Congratulations
Is that 1968 or 1969? 1968 would make it my birth year!

It was manufactured 2nd quarter of 67 and was sold on Feb 29 1968 that would make it 6 month before I was born.

I definitely like that, the box and papers are a huge bonus too

Great patina on the dial especially as shown in the photograph of it laying in the box.
