Indeed! This trusty old girl is still my daily "beater" after nearly 26 years. For me the perfect watch...

Are owners starting to put these away for safekeeping given the run up in value? I have a nice condition 2004 2 liner bought as a weekend watch 5 years ago and to use as an international travel companion (not exposing my newer watch to theft etc.) or for outdoor activities. However it has now doubled in value and I no longer can view it as a watch I can afford to put at risk. I know this is a high quality problem but it does tend to alter my behavior!

The last of the best. Made in an era when people used their watches daily as tools to tell the time and date and measure elapsed time as it was not in the cell phone era.
