50 year old Orvin/Sears

Post by Erratic101 » Mon Jan 13, 2014 9:13 pm

This watch was owned by my great uncle. It says Sears/Roebuck on the inside. Figure probably early 50's with original band. This thing still works and keeps accurate time. Awesome life for a Sears watch!

Actually I guess the watch is more like 60 years old. It was late, and I was drinking. What can I say?

Nice to have a watch from our uncle. I remember my uncle had a omega he got in the 1950's when he was in the Air Force station in England.
