The birth year diver I found for wifey turned out awesome! It was running a little fast when it got here so the mainspring was replaced for about $45. I found an aftermarket jubilee bracelet on eBay that fits mostly good...the endlinks aren't an exact fit but I was able to bend them to be pretty close (I don't think this even came with a metal bracelet back 32 years ago). It's holding a solid power reserve and I'm in the process of testing how much time it's gaining/losing after the service.
I had to remove every single removable link from the bracelet to get it to fit her ha. The hands are original with a little patina, the case is original and I *think* the dial is although the watchmaker thought it's been refinished. Wifey loves it, the smaller size at 34mm is a great fit for her tiny wrist. Not bad for under $200 all in!
