M1-Woodward Avenue is a highway notably referred to as Detroit's Main Street and follows the route of the old Saginaw Trail that linked Detroit with Pontiac, and at the time, Flint and Saginaw.
Woodward Avenue was created after a devastating fire in 1805 and is one of five principal avenues in Detroit devised by Augustus B. Woodward as part of a street plan intended to make Detroit the Paris of the West, by emulating it’s wide avenues.
Woodward Avenue was the location of the first mile of concrete roadway in the entire country and in 1970, bore the M1 designation. Woodward Avenue is synonymous with cruising. As early as 1848, carriage drivers would race up and down Woodward Avenue after the roadway was converted from logs to planks.

Great expectations were actually exceeded. Good quality, amazing presentation, spectacular attention to detail.
The watch keeps very good time (as expected). The watch is hefty and solid. The mechanism is not the quietest but it was not expected to be. It does sound and feel bulletproof.
The "extras" that arrived with the watch are exquisite, almost exceeding the watch for excitement value. DWC are to be congratulated on an outststanding buying experience.
Cannot wait to receive my watch to go with Miss Piggy, my 86 Pprsche 944 Turbo in the Pink Pig livery. August cannot come soon enough!
