just received a parcel from The Dalles Spa - where USPS in their infinite wisdom decided it would be a great idea to route Vienna, Austria, through Sydney, Australia.

Was slightly nervous for some days, as there were some rather pretty watches in that parcel, but they finally found the correct continent.

sharing this Navitimer from 1969, a nice example of those "grubby and faded vintage watches", Driver8 ? ;)

Lovely watch Fred. Dreams are made of this. :bow:

If USPS sent it to Sidney, then I am surprised you got it back from him at all. The one in Australia is Sydney! :) :thumbsup:

The red blocked 10 is interesting.

If only I'd known it was in Sydney! I could have slipped down there and kept it company. It was insured wasn't it Fred? 8)

When I get my 806 it's gonna look like that. Love vintage, but not like it's been dragged through the ocean and on the road. And this one fits the criteria quite well.
