Thank you one and all for your comments and advice. Sounds like a conversation with Craig from ChronoDeco should be my next move. I really am very happy to wear a watch of such caliber, fame, and history. Amazing how many things you never know about until someone educates you and introduces you to a group of people and their world that you never new existed. This forum seems like such a place. Several asked for a photo of the watch. I believe I have done what is necessary to include a rather crude photo to help you get some kind of idea of what I am dealing with. It of course seems absolutely beautiful to me but may not be appreciated the same way by more discriminating expert. In any case thanks again for your help. --David
