I have this very one, a gift from my mother. I love it, keeps time perfectly
I wear a Lumi I got 8 years ago. All day everyday. I am known to kill watches with ease. This one won't die. Worth the money. Took it off my wrist for the picture.View attachment 174679 View attachment 174680 View attachment 174678 View attachment 174677 The USAF were guests once. F117 pilots. Considered true skunk work guys they were Bandits as a group. Carried glocks when bombing Serbia so they were ‘“ NATO” not US fliers if shot down, like that would fool anyone. Knives were various Cold Steel, they delighted in having seconds, prominently marked with a “2” as shown. Most USAF brass decried the secrecy around the Bandits.
Watch is a early Luminox metal case, seems to be holding up. My jeweler wants to clean it up and replace bezel but nah... it’s s dinosaur but a proud dinosaur.
Nice, I'm thinking of getting myself one of those.
Merry Christmas from the Wife.....Hamilton Khaki Automatic!
It does but I can’t seem to get it to move tonight.What model is the Waltham? Can we see the movement? The back should just unscrew.
Half a week's pay in this area in the 60s.cost less than $20 when new in the 60's.

SS Chevelle in 1969 new would be $22,000 today money. Not bad."In other words, $20 in 1960 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $173.63 in 2020, a difference of $153.63 over 60 years. The 1960 inflation rate was 1.72%. The current inflation rate (2019 to 2020) is now 2.29% 1. If this number holds, $20 today will be equivalent in buying power to $20.46 next year."

Where do you shop for these vintage watches?Adding to my vintage Timex collection....picked up a 1981 Mercury series (manual wind) in exceptional condition.
Introduced to them by @RaceRedGT. He gave me my first and still nicest. I have a half dozen now!!! One from 1953!!!Love vostoks. I found a guy that made a bezel that took skx inserts, ended up giving that one to a buddy. Pretty slick setup though.
I have inscriptions on the inside of the case but they aren't big enough for this phone camera to get very wellThere’s a date code on the movement. If made in the 1950’s on there should be on the case as well. L =50’s, M=60’s, N=70’s. For example L4 is 1954 and so on. If before 1950 they used symbols. If you post a picture we can probably determine a manufacture date.
