| History: | Vintage Watch Resources purchased the watch in 2004.
The undocumented history is that the watch was owned by a Sercet Service Agent assigned to US Presidents in the late 1950's and 1960's. The watch, which has a suede/velvet band (with 14kt white gold buckle) was purchased new by the agent (or by his wife as a gift for him) for use at formal affairs. |
