Watch Description

I believe this is a President "C".  I got this one recently and when looking at another one on this website realized that I think I have the correct band on another watch.  I put it onto this one and it sure seems to match the ads I've seen, as well as the line book.  The band is by Admiral. 

I cannot find a date code on the movement, although there appears to be a "64" near the edge, partially under a seal.  

The face finish is flaking some and it clearly requires a cleaning, but it runs well.  It's got a great 70's vibe to it, which isn't my usual style, and I really like the Roman numerals.  Interestingly, the case back has "Taiwan" stamped into it.  The "A" is printed.

Good match to the linebook entry, detailing a burgundy and silver dial.
