On the wrist since a couple of weeks
I guess this is me going "vintage".. well, not so sure 1960 qualifies as true vintage, but that's so far the oldest I've gone, and I'm loving everything about it! Longines CH-30 flyback with spider lugs, how cool is it?! I've taken my time to hunt an impe...
A+! . . .
