I posted these pics in a similar thread last week so apologies to those who have seen it but here we go....

My ex-boss, now a good friend and I were in Hong Kong on business in 1994.
We walked into an AD and he walked out with a Rootbeer 16713.

From that day onwards, he wears it every day 12-15 hrs a day. He gardens in it, and pretty much EVERYTHING is done wearing the watch.
He has given me the watch every 6-8 years to give to my watchmaker for a service. Back in 2015, he did the same and this is how I got the watch.....
I just couldn't give it to my watchmaker in this condition so spent 30 minutes giving it a good once over.
My watchmaker sourced a new insert and the watch came back absolutely mint.
This watch has copped an absolute hiding over the last 25 years and is a real testament to the quality of the brand!
