[QUOTE=BigBlue1;12583553]I swear to you , there is nothing like the two tone Rootbeer. Still my favorite piece I have ever owned which I no longer have. I am definitely adding it again for a daily wearer.

I miss mine :( in the sun as well :)

That's a nice one!

These showed up today:







Both pieces are in superb condition. The Oysterdate is NOS. I'm sure some "fans" will grimace at 34mm and 36mm. . .but they are plenty man enough for this 6'2" 280lb boy.

Oyster Perpetual Ref 1002 from the 70s! It was my grandpa's "nice night out" watch for over 40 years. I changed the bracelet to a leather strap a while ago but still got the original oyster bracelet sitting in the original box!
