But wait, there's more! The band is a PAIR OF STIRRUPS !! The face is original and easy to read. So, who is Cindy? She is Sassy's daughter. And she has gone on to bigger and better things now but still loves horses. This equestrian watch is from the 1940s and is rarer than rare! It has been cleaned, oiled, and adjusted and keeps perfect time. It is 7" long and Sassy's jeweler can shorten or lengthen it a little if needed.
