Hi. This is my watch, a vintage datographic. A bargain that I found years ago. There's damage in the face, probably it was stored without the glass. But that gives it personality ;). The calibre is perfect after a simple cleaning. +-1 second/day, amazing for and old watch. Maybe the 50's?

Yes, that model is from the 1950's and is a good looking specimen too.

Welcome to the site and thank you for sharing!

Thank you, Butch. I think I looked for it years ago and I found that years. I don't remember my source.

I was adjusting several watches these days, using the time.nist.gov clock and when I checked this little fellow I was astonished. Just one second up and down during 3 complete days. It needs more days, I guess, but that result it's amazing.
