This is what I would call a really nice survivor piece. Was worn like it was meant, taken care of and here it is today. Not just one of those sock drawer 40 years later put some sunglasses on it because it has not seen the light on day since Dracula. No, it was worn and this is to be expected. Looks good too.
If it could talk.

Thanks for all the replies!

I didn't really doubt the authenticity, I am just a newbie with vintage watches and I'm looking around for one. I thought I should get some expert opinions before I buy :D
