This was a swapmeet find. It didn't work so I took it in to be fixed. The repair guy couldn't fix the hack function and replaced the second sweep with out asking me. I wasn't happy, but it runs. I do have an original band for it, but I wear it like this.

This is the back. Note the difference in the information from other watch's and serial number 00132. My guess is it is a 1948 production run. Later watch's have a 50-, 52- type serial number.

Thier was no reason. The jewler took it upon himself to do things we never agreed to. He replaced the crystal. I made him put the original back on. The second hand was one of those things. That  crystal was a monstasity. It was a full 1/8 inch taller than the original.
