Have been wanting one of these since Tom started posting his, though I wanted an early generation non-chrono. Found this one on ebay. Will need a service and re-lume, but I snagged it at a great price. By the time it's done, I'll be ahead of the game. 44 Jewel in-house movement!
Now;
Should look closer to this when done;
Cool history.

Thx guys. I already found the bracelet and have an email into Jack at IWW.
I'm really looking forward to this one when it's done. I like the blue starburst dial.
I'll brush the case myself.
