Thanks for the info!
I know the watch is from 1968 for sure, there's some really cool photos of my grandfather in his army uniform wearing it, cool to be able to connect history to the watch!
I'd love to take it apart but I know for a fact I'd end up causing more harm than good! I'll be getting it looked at by someone soon so hopefully will get some answers!
It really is a lovely little watch, It's what kickstarted my adventure into the land of watches.
Definitely getting the watch services & repaired so I can get it back to it's former glory!
Thankyou for that info!
I'm fairly new to mechanical / automatic watches so I'll need to do a little research into what goes on during a service etc! It's an inherited watch so would love to keep it ticking over nicely, though in truth it still keeps accurate time even now after all these years! Fantastic little things aren't they..
how are you finding the open heart?
I keep hovering over the buy button, so would be interested to hear how you're finding it?
Hey!
He bought it from an Army Officer when he was stationed in Borneo in the late 60's, which only adds to the story really!
It's got a lovely mechanical movement that still keeps accurate time to this day, it's an AS 1690/92 Movement after doing a little research but I cannot for the life of me find a model number for the watch beyond the fact it's from 1968!
Congratulations! I keep trying to find a gen 5 because I have tiny wrists otherwise I'd be straight onto this! For the price they are fantastic!
