Further what is also and maybe even more remarkable is that the watch has its original factory buckle, and the original screws that hold the strap to the case.  What is also remarkable is that the watch comes with the original factory strap, (see enclosed pictures).

We found a vintage strap that fit the watch and see how it fits the wrist so comfortable.
