I purchased an Airman Special at the Whiteman AFB Base Exchange in 1965 and wore it the whole year I was in Vietnam (1966). I still have it, but it is in need of restoration. I hope I can find someone to do it.
Hi Charles! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. You are lucky to have such a fascinating piece! My suggestion is to look for a well reviewed watchmakers (maybe specialized in restoration) and ask them a quote. I have usually had good results going to the official service center of the brand but in your case I don't know if Glycine has a proper department for vintage watches. Also check if there are any official center from Swatch Group: as the have many brands below their control they could be able to give you the contact of a reliable watchmaker. My last and most important tips is to be sure they don't restore the dial, hands and crystal of the watch, to keep it as original as it could be. Otherwise it will loses value. Let me know if you will manage to have your watch serviced and restored. Best regards
