This watch is close to 20 years old and the small secondary loop that secures the free end of the band has come apart with age. A minor condition that would be easy to repair (see photo).
* Ponderosa was a prequel to the NBC series Bonanza, covering the time when the Cartwrights first arrived at the Ponderosa, when Adam and Hoss were teenagers and Joe a little boy, it had less gunfire, brawling and other traditional western elements than the original.Bonanza creator David Dortort approved PAX TV's decision to hire Beth Sullivan, creator and executive producer of Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman, to oversee scripts and executive produce, which some believe gave the series a softer edge. The series should not be confused with Ponderosa, the title used for Bonanza reruns aired on NBC in mid-1972
