I took this watch in trade from the original owner who received it as a gift when he graduated high school in 1972. In the late 1970s or early 1980s (he's not sure exactly) he had a watchmaker replace the original lumed hands with these replacement hands because he wanted to be able to read the exact minutes. He had the movement serviced in 2019 but I'm not familiar with the watchmaker who did the work.
If anyone is interested in doing a package deal with the other two watches I have listed I'll give you a great price on all three watches. Also interested in trades for other vintage watches.
