I inherited this watch from my father who passed away. He bought this brand new but for 15-20 years it has sat unused in a dresser drawer. I am looking to get more information on this watch, specifically what model it is and where I might be able to find an original, or copy, of the band it came with.
Thanks
I found it!

That's a real beauty. A wonderful heirloom to wear and remember. My most precious watch was my Dad's.
I think this one is a first for the database as well! Based on the ad, I suspect it may have come on black leather, but that is pure speculation. The ad is dark but 2 of 3 solid gold watches (yours is not visible - lost in background) appear to be on black leather. If it was mine, my choice would be a thin low profile black lizard (fine grain pattern) leather. You should be able to get one with the proper width ends at a good jewelry store.

Thank you for taking the time to review the pics and post a response. I will try and scout around for a black band that will look good. The watch is too small for my taste but I would like to have it complete if possible. Luckily, I have two other watches from his collection will I will definitely be wearing and passing on to my kids.

Than you for the response. I will try to find more info about this model. I think this site is great. While this is not my most favorite watch I inherited, I enjoyed looking at all the other watches on the site so I thought I might as well post pics of this one too.
