Very nice! I especially like that all 18K Datejust 160788 with the bark finish jubilee bracelet. I don't think I've ever seen a bark jubilee bracelet in person, very cool!

I enjoy the watch photos and the background they use. Back then they had some good quality photos for the 1970's.

The information of that time is great history also.

Ah! That's the book I was looking at when I ended up buying my YG Presidents DD with bark finished bracelet in late '78 or early '79. It brings back memories. I ended up selling the DD in early 1981 to raise money to help pay for my second year in law school.

I'd love to have a book like that as it coincides with my 1977, 5.2 mil series, 5513 Sub.

Thanks very much for sharing with us David, a/k/a "Safetrends"
