This is my Bell-Matic. Purchased new in 1972, it was my first "good" watch. It had been relegated to a back drawer for some years, but was restored to my rotation a few years ago. Surprisingly, it runs well, even though it has never been serviced. I had made inquiries about getting it serviced, but was taken aback by the cost ($500+). If and when it stops functioning, I will consider shelling out for a refurbishment/service.

Great pairing with that strap.

Love the watch. Impressed with its quality, and feel it is an excellent value. I have the 44mm, and I'm happy with the size, and how it wears. My wrist size is 7.25. I'm sure the 40mm would also be good.

Edit: Photo shows the digital display showing the date, as I neglected to press the "D" button to switch from displaying date to displaying time.

Watchgecko.com. I saw a photo of the Alpinist on their site with this bracelet. I had to get the watch, and the bracelet!
