This here is a vintage 50's 60's Waltham day date 7 jewel Automatic with blue face :)
It is still running after all these years! (strong)
I filed off all the sweat gunk/corrosion on back of case and then polished and cleaned it.
Last thing was adding a new spiedel strap as was the style back then:

Very nice!
Somewhere along the line I got stuck picking up more and more 50's-70's seikos & Timexs.
I definitely need to branch out on my GEN vintage collection!
