Astrographic 1974: After 37 years ... it is shining again

[Sparcky]

Hi,

After 37 years it got a full cleaning. (also internally)
(It was stored in a cupboard for 36 years    )

   welcome to the site!! NICE zodiac, isnt it a great feeling to find one and bring it back to life after all those years! the joys of vintage watch collecting are the best.

Are you the original owner? Or a collector that picked it up from one?

Hi,

My father got it from a good friend who owned a jewelry store in 1974.
That friend suddenly died one year later and my father did not like to wear that watch again.

I'm a watch collector and after years of begging .... I got it ...  :)

I brought it to a watchmaker for a complete cleaning and oiling ....
And three weeks ... it is still 100 % OK :)

We also decided not to polish the scratches to keep it original.

It is always nice to have a story behind your Zodiac. Thanks for sharing!
