This is my first vintage watch for myself.\u00a0 I picked it up at a local antique store.\u00a0 It has some nice, vintage charm, starting with the size, just 34mm diameter.\u00a0 The 3270 on the dial indicates it is caliber 32 from 1970.\u00a0 When I got it, it had a funky Speidel Twist-o-Flex band and 4 decades of crud.\u00a0 After about an hour of work and a new band, it really cleaned up nice.\u00a0 It stopped a few times during the first day, but has settled in nicely, keeping very good time for a pin lever watch.\u00a0 I think the lubricants were just a little gummy and needed a little human body warmth to get back to normal.\u00a0 The quality and workmanship is very good for a bargain watch.\u00a0 It hand winds and \u2019self-winds\u2019 with a satisfying rattle.\u00a0 The second hand sweeps at a relaxed 18,000 BPH, which is normal for a watch of this era.\u00a0 The crystal is a high domed acrylic, which scratches up pretty easily, but also cleans up nicely as well.\u00a0\u00a0 Overall, a nice, easy to live with watch.<\/p>\n
