birthday watch

My youngest's birth year is '05 and I happened to stumble across a pristine 16710 w/o holes, how could I pass it up? I had such an issue finding my '64 GMT that I figured why not make it easy for him... lol.

Now he's got plenty of time to find you your 64 birth year watch. Good thinking.

Very nice! He'll love the memories of seeing you wear it when it's one day on his wrist.

Well played! He will love it one day.

I looked for a '62 for a while and just gave up. I learned I'm more of a modern watch guy.

Awesome idea. Great watch. Looks like he is enjoying it. How many links did you need to remove?😉
