Watch Description

1963 Patriot  Great shape. Nice patina runs good and keeps good time. Been looking for one of these for a while. Had to go all the way to Canada for it lol  Been a while since I posted a watch. Sorry about the photos but this new phone just doesn't take photos as good as my old phone. Will have to do something about that.

Got a few more to post but not until I rectify the poor photo quality.

Bill, since your watch is from 1963, it looks like it should be the Patriot 'E'.

These show up in 1961 and 1962/63 linebooks with different variants. 1961 the A B C were the options; then in 1962/1963 the band changed and price went up slightly, and the variants were changed to E F G. All appear to have the same patterned dial when zoomed in.

Thanks Ken

Didn't see any variants. Only saw 1 other in the database.

It has a cheap leather band on it for now but I'm always on the lookout for nice replacements or at least period looking.
