Wearing my 1944 waltham type a11... nearly an 80 year old watch and it still tics like a charm. I added a black nato strap to it to give it more of a utilitarian tactical look. I still have the original canvas strap that was in it. Anyways this is my favorite time piece.

Nice one! My wedding reception was in the Waltham museum of industry, which is right next-door to the old Waltham watch factory. They had a ton of pieces from there! I bought all my groomsmen vintage, Waltham watches, and got them fixed up as their groomsmen gifts.
