Here is one of them!
Picked this up from the forums in original condition with original boxes and paperwork.
Yesterday it spent the day in the ultrasonic spa getting 40 years of grime removed. Followed by a new crystal and caseback gasket and some grease on the original petrified chrono and crown gaskets...they will have to be replaced. Just a little touching up on the bracelet and it looks wearable. The case still needs a finish "reset" but I wanted to wear it!
It's keeping great time but since it's service history is unknown it will have to go in to someone more brave than I for a spit-n-polish on the movement!
Like a kid in a candy store I picked up a 6138-3002 the other day too, also original un-restored and its a one owner watch... pictures of it to follow once it's fit for photos...
