My "new" Roamer Stingray Chronograph was just being manufactured in 1969. It arrived a couple hours ago from The Netherlands, in freshly-serviced condition. It's powered by the venerable Valjoux 72 (726) movement. BTW, in 1969 I was one year out of the Marine Corps and newly married.

In 1969 I wasn't even sperm yet.

Still, nice watch, old guy.

Good lord.

I was 12. I feel like an elder statesman here.

Most of you cats were still in liquid form then. . . .

Nice piece

9 years old and living in Vancouver, Man I am old now.

Still not bad for a 51 year old.

I'd been married for a year in 1969, but my current (2nd) wife was only 13 then.

Does the one I got on my ass in Vegas count

How can they see your forearm tats through your french cuff dress shirts?
