COMING AT YOU IS THIS ULTRA FUNKY 70s BAYLOR AUTOMATIC ALARM DAY/DATE.
-
CASE: CHUNKY ALL-STEEL CUSHION CASE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THIS BEAUTY MEASURES A RESPECTABLE 39.5mm ACROSS CASE NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED CROWNS BY 41mm LUG TO LUG. I LOVE SOME OF THE SUBTLE DESIGN TOUCHES ON THIS LIKE THOSE CHAMFERS THAT RUN ALL ALONG BOTH SIDES OF THE WATCH AND THAT FULLY INTACT BRUSHED TOP.
-
DIAL: THIS ONE LOOKS LIKE IT'S STRAIGHT OUTTA TRON. CHECK OUT THAT IRIDISCENT BLUE DIAL WITH THAT SPACEY TAPESTRY DIAL WHICH BLOWS THE MIND WHEN THE SUN HITS IT SHOWING OFF THAT SUBTLE TEXTURED DESIGN. THAT RAISED SILVER CHAPTER RING HOUSING THOSE BLUE ACCENTED WEDGED STEEL MARKERS IS TOTALLY SUBLIME. NICELY INTACT LUME ON THOSE SANDWICH STYLE STICK HANDS.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS FUNKY CHICKEN IS POWERED BY THE LEGENDARY A.SCHILD 17J SWISS MADE CAL. 5008 ALARM MOVEMENT. ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME. I WILL NOTE THAT THE ALARM TRIGGERS ABOUT 15 MINUTES EARLY, BUT THAT’S JUST A MINOR ADJUSTMENT FOR ANY COMPETENT WATCHMAKER. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT WATCH HAS BEEN BEHAVING AMAZINGLY FOR WEEKS OF ON/OFF WRIST OBSERVATION. DAY/DATE ARE BOTH QUICKSET. THESE MOVEMENTS REALLY PACK A LOT OF FEATURES SUCH AS A HI BEAT 28800 BPH RATE, HACKING, AND THE SELF-WINDING MECHANISM ALSO WINDS THE ALARM POWER RESERVE. AN INNOVATIVE DESIGN FOR THE TIME AND EVEN FOR NOW.
- THIS BAYLOR IS MOUNTED ON AN ASTERMARKET SOLID STEEL OYSTER STYLE BRACELET WHICH IS SIZED FOR MY 6.5" WRIST WITH AN ADDITIONAL 6 MICRO-ADJUSTS TO SIZE UP. THIS IS REALLY A SUPER COOL PIECE WITH A TON OF COMPLICATIONS PACKED INTO IT. I LOVE THAT LASER LIGHT SHOW OF A DIAL AND THE FUNKINESS OF THAT CASE. THIS IS A SUPER FUN WATCH TO WEAR, AND EVERY SERIOUS COLLECTION NEEDS A GOOD ALARM WATCH.
