CASE: OVERSIZED AND SEXY ALL-STEEL MONNIN CASE IN GOOD CONDITION MEASURING A HEFTY 42mm ACROSS INCLUDING CROWN GUARDS(NOT INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL SIGNED SCREW-DOWN CROWN).

I DIG THOSE CLASSIC DAGGER HANDS WITH JUST A TINY HINT OF PATINA TO REMIND YOU THIS IS A VINTAGE WATCH. THE CLINCHER ON THIS MODEL IS THAT TOTALLY COOL SECONDS HAND WITH THAT LUMED WHITE BULB WHICH REALLY SETS THIS MODEL APART FROM THE OTHER MONNIN VARIANTS OFFERED BY OTHER BRANDS.
