FOR SALE IS A RARE AND MEGA GROOVY LATE 60s MONDAINE LOBSTER 200M DIVER WITH KILLER BAKELITE BEZEL AND TONS OF GNARLINESS.
-
CASE: OVERSIZED AND SEXY SOLID STEEL HOODED LUG CASE MEASURING A HEFTY 39mm ACROSS NOT INCLUDING SCREW-DOWN CROWN BY 45mm LUG TO LUG. THIS CASE IS IN TREMENDOUSLY NICE UNTOUCHED CONDITION WITH ALL THE ORIGINAL FACTORY BRUSHING INTACT AND THE SCUBA-DUDE GRAPHIC ON THE BACK IN SHARP SHAPE!!! LOOK AT THAT MINTY LUMED BAKELITE BEZEL WHICH NO LONGER GLOWS BUT LOOKS TOTALLY RAD AND PRISTINE. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CRUSTACEAN FROM THE DEEP.
-
DIAL: THIS INKY BLACK GLOSS DIAL IS DREAMY. DIAL IS AMAZING CONDITION WITH SOME MINOR FADE IN THE GLOSS TOWARDS THE PERIPHERY WHICH IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CATCH IN PICS. I LOVE THOSE APPLIED STEEL MARKERS. THE BEST PART OF THIS FACE, THOUGH, IS THAT KILLER HANDSET WITH THAT BEAUTIFUL AGED LUME, SHOVEL MINUTE HAND, AND THAT COOL DIAMOND SWEEP SECONDS HAND. WHAT A GREAT LOOK!
-
MOVEMENT: THIS LOBSTER RUNS ON A HIGH-GRADE 25J FELSA AUTOMATIC. WATCH IS KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME AND RUNNING STRONG. MY WATCHMAKER JUST DID SOME SERVICE WORK ON THE AUTOMATIC AND THE WINDING, SO SHE'S GOOD TO GO. DATE IS QUICKSET BY ROTATING THE TIME SETTING BETWEEN 21:45 AND 24HOURS.
- WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A PERIOD APPROPRIATE PRESIDENT STYLE ALL STEEL BRACELET WHICH SHOULD ACCOMODATE UP TO AN 8" WRIST AND LOOKS LIKE IT WAS DESIGNED FOR THIS DIVER. IF THE NAME "LOBSTER" DOESN'T PINCH AT YOUR HEART-STRINGS, THEN THE BAKELITE BEZEL, SHOVEL HANDS, AND KILLER CASE MOST DEFINITELY WILL. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE OBSCURE DIVERS OF THE 60s WHICH YOU DON'T SEE CRAWL AROUND VERY OFTEN.
