JUst finished this one for my wife . . .

1940 14K rose gold Elgin driver.  Polished up well.  I upgraded the movement to a 675 from the 559 that came in it.  The stretchy bracelet is a very early Speidel that was in amazing condition and polished well also.  Her response:  "that's pretty."  Ho-Hum.

Few will ever appreciate or comprehend the work we put into our watches. Thankfully there are groups like this where we all "get it"!

Absolutely gorgeous! Congrats! Sometimes when I've solved a difficult problem or have accomplished something that I'm proud of and tell my wife about it, she just rolls her eyes and keeps doing what she's doing. A "that's pretty" is probably the best praise we can ever expect to get from our genuine halfs.

Love this watch.
