Thanks for the link!

I learned that my watch was manufactured in September, 1969 - which now makes it 38 years old. A local jeweler reattached the second hand and buffed the crystal. I'm sending it to a member of that forum to be cleaned and serviced (something the local shop was supposed to do, but that's another story). I put an inexpensive leather band on it so that I could wear it right away. It keeps excellent time, and looks darn good!

I've tried to take some photos, but my digital camera is pretty sad. I do have a Nikon 1:2.8 35-70 lens w/ Macro, SB28 Speedlight and N90s from the dark ages...I attempted some shots (w/o tripod) and now need to get the film developed and then scan the photos and upload them here. The watch might be 48 years old before that happens

Thanks to all for your advice!
