Just because....

I wanted to post a picture or two of this watch for no real reason other than I have recently become re-acquainted with this old friend after a long sit in the safe. It was my Grandfathers watch and I've been somewhat afraid to wear it. I've made myself get over that and am now enjoying having it on my wrist in rotation with 6 or so other fine watches. Anyway, have a great holiday weekend everyone!
BTW- It's a 1675 / 1.7mil
