FOR SALE IS A MEGA GROOVY 60s SLATE GREY DIAL MONDAINE GENT'S AUTOMATIC SPORTS WATCH. JUST FULLY OVERHAULED.
-
CASE: CLEAN AND CRISP SOLID STEEL CASE MEASURING IN AT 34.5mm NOT INCLUDING CROWN BY 43mm LUG TO LUG. I REALLY LIKE THE CUT OF THE JIB ON THIS ONE. VERY SPORTY. NICE ROBUST FEEL FOR A WATCH OF ITS ERA. CRISP EDGES AND SOLID LINES ON THIS CASE, TOO.
-
DIAL: GORGEOUS MINTY SLATE GREY DIAL WITH ELEGANT APPLIED STEEL STICK MARKERS AND LARGE JAZZY 12/6 ARABIC NUMERALS. I LOVE THOSE CLEAN AND CLASSY THIN STEEL STICK HANDS WHICH LOOK VERY SHARP AGAINST THAT DARK DIAL. THERE ARE SOME HANDSOME DESIGN ELEMENTS TO NOTE ON THIS FACE. TAKE A LOOK AT THAT SUBTLE WHITE SPLIT-SECONDS TRACK IN WHITE ALONG THE PERIPHERY. I ALSO REALLY DIG THAT RED DATE WHEEL. THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THAT LARGE MONDAINE LOGO IN WHITE BELOW 12 THAT JUST LOOKS COOL. THIS IS JUST AN ALL AROUND "EASY ON THE EYES' DIAL AND VERY LEGIBLE.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS WELL MANNERED GENT RUNS ON A CLEAN SWISS 17J A.SCHILD AUTOMATIC. QUICKSET IS ACHIEVED BY ROTATING TIME BETWEEN 2000-2400. WATCH HAS JUST BEEN PROFESSIONALLY OVERHAULED AND IS READY FOR ACTION.
- WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A BUTTERY BROWN GENUINE SHARK-SKIN STRAP MADE IN THE USA WHICH IS THE ULTIMATE MATE FOR THIS MONDAINE. THIS IS JUST SUCH A SPORTY FELLA. THIS WEARS A LOT LIKE A ROLEX DATEJUST WITH VERY SIMILAR DIMENSIONS AND WIDE SHOULDERS. HOWEVER, THIS ONE HAS ITS OWN THING GOING ON, AND IT'S ALSO QUITE A BIT MORE AFFORDABLE. JUST THE PERFECT WATCH TO STRAP ON FOR A NIGHT OF PUB-CRAWLING.
