Another birth year watch

Please allow me to share my latest acquisition. Given how much the price of vintage Rolex has risen in recent months, I feel quite lucky to find such a nice condition watch for a decent amount. Not cheap but still reasonable.

When I saw it was stamped with my birth year, I knew I had to have it. One owner unmolested late 60's mark 1 with eggshell patina, matching hands, almost new FF insert, and US made oval jubilee bracelet with 50 end links. The lume plots r exceptionally large on this one.

I only had it for a few days n I'm already bonding with it. Took it to NYC n back. Been to Times Square n Broadway, etc. Sad to eventually leave it with my watch maker for the long needed service.

Nuff talk, here r the pics. The first pic show how badly scratched the crystal was. Poky watch really do wonders.
