FOR SALE IS A TOTALLY SWANKY LATE 60s BENRUS JUNGLEMASTER DATEJUST STYLE AUTOMATIC IN MINTY CONDITION
-
CASE: CLEAN AND CRISP SOLID STEEL DATEJUST STYLE CASE MEASURING IN AT 36mm NOT INCLUDING CROWN. THIS THING IS IN SUPER SHARP CONDITION MAINTAINING ALL ITS ORIGINAL FACTORY FRESH FINISHES. I LOVE THE FLUTED BEZEL AS WELL AS THAT KILLER GOLD MEDALLION ON THE CASEBACK. LIKE A VINTAGE 36mm DATEJUST, THIS WEARS SUPER AWESOME BECAUSE OF THE WIDE 20mm LUGS AND WIDE DIAL.
-
DIAL: GORGEOUS RADIAL BRUSHED SILVER FACE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. I JUST LOVE THOSE APPLIED STEEL MARKERS WITH THE GNARLY FACETED BATONS AT 12/6/9. THE BENRUS CREST AT 12 IS SUPER COOL, AND I DIG THAT WICKED "JUNGLEMASTER" CURSIVE FONT. THE BLUNT TIPPED STEEL STICK HANDS ARE A FANCY TOUCH. ALL VIEWED UNDER THAT ACRYLIC TOP-HAT STYLE CRYSTAL WITH CYCLOPS OVER THE DATE.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS WELL MANNERED GENT RUNS ON A HIGH GRADE 25 JEWEL ETA AUTOMATIC. QUICKSET IS ACHIEVED BY ROTATING TIME BETWEEN 2000-2400. THIS ONE WAS RECENTLY SERVICED AND IS RUNNING BUTTER SMOOTH.
I'VE GOT THIS BENRUS MOUNTED ON A HANDSOME 20mm BLACK LEATHER STRAP WITH WHITE CONTRAST STITCHING WHICH LOOKS THE BUSINESS. THE JUNGLEMASTER WATCHES WERE SOME OF BENRUS'S TOP TIER PIECES MADE TO COMPETE WITH THE DATEJUST OFFERINGS FROM ROLEX BUT WITH A FUN TWIST. THIS ONE HAS SOME SERIOUSLY COOL ATTITUDE AND IS A FANTASTIC COLLECTOR'S GRADE PIECE. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT SCRATCHES THAT ROLEX ITCH BUT AT A FRACTION OF THE PRICE, THIS JUNGLEMASTER IS A REALLY NICE ALTERNATIVE AND A TOTAL RARITY
