My dad’s everyday beater

My dad passed away in 2019. My mom and I have been going through some of his personal items that she hasn’t been able to deal with until now. I have found a few watches that he had tucked away when I came across the one I remember him wearing nearly every day as far back as I remember. He stopped wearing this one when he had his first stoke in 2010 and started wearing cheap watches he didn’t mind getting broken. This is a Waltham automatic. It’s very well worn, and I’m just starting to research it, but it says Swiss made on the case back. I remember trying to wear this watch (with his favorite hair pinching stretch band) and it fit all the way up my arm. This find has really made my day!
