This is one of my favorite auto chronograph watch I used to own. It exudes masculinity with large diameter, thick dimension, and hooded lugs. It wears big and thick, yet comfortable.
Even though the watch condition is not mint or pristine, I fell in love with this vintage watch. It was okay, good enough for me. Immediately after this acquisition, I was looking for a good example of Mark II and Mark III, but luck has run out on me. In the end, I regretfully sold this watch to fund other purchase.
