Great looking watch. 8)

Can you perhaps tell more about it (history, age)?
Because you seldomly see an Original vintage watch in such a condition.

case produced in 1953, final assembly probably mid 1950s (WOG-marked, 2nd generation chrono second hand). single family owned in the US from the late 1950s, apparently very rarely worn; still had what seemed to be it's original 1950s lizard strap.

So glad to have been able to add this one to your collection.

I'm enjoying the Navi and the Speedy will soon be turned into a Speedy Apollo 11 40th. It seems our trade has given me the collecting bug.
