DIAL: I REALLY LOVE THE LEVEL OF FINISH ON THIS FACE. CHECK OUT THAT SLATE GREY DIAL WITH THAT BRUSHING PATTERN THAT EMANATES OUT FROM 6 O'CLOCK. REALLY GORGEOUS EFFECT.

MOVEMENT: THIS GUY RUNS ON A 17J GILTED BAYLOR SIGNED A.SCHILD AUTOMATIC. IT RUNS BUTTER SMOOTH AND KEEPS EXCELLENT TIME. DATE IS SEMI-QUICKSET BUT DAY IS NOT. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT WATCH HAS BEEN RUNNING STRONG AND KEEPING TIME OBSERVED OVER MANY DAYS OF ON/OFF WRIST MONITORING.
- WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A RUGGED BROWN LEATHER FULL STITCH BAND WHICH LOOKS NICE ON THIS FELLA. BAYLOR WAS THE IN-HOUSE WATCH BRAND FOR ZALES IN THE 60s AND 70s. THEY MADE SOME PRETTY MEMORABLE CHRONOGRAPHS AND SPORTS WATCHES AND ARE MOST FAMOUS FOR BUYING OUT A LARGE CHUNK OF HEUER STOCK IN THE 70s AND MAKING THEIR IDENTICAL VERSIONS. THIS WATCH HAS A LOT OF GROOVY STYLING PACKED INTO A CLASSY YET SPORTY CASE. SUCH A FUN ONE TO WEAR.
