FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS A MINTY AND HANDSOME LATE 60s ELGIN MANUAL WINDER WITH A MESMERIZING METALLIC MOSAIC DIAL.
-
CASE: GORGEOUS ALL STEEL C-SHAPED CASE IN MINTY CONDITION. THIS BEAUTY MEASURES 35.2mm ACROSS NOT INCLUDING CROWN BY 40mm LUG TO LUG. I LOVE THE SUBTLE EDGINESS OF THIS CASE AND LOOK AT THAT FANTASTIC RADIAL BRUSHED FINISH. THIS THING LOOKS LIKE IT WAS POSSIBLY NEVER WORN. THIS ONE WEARS MORE LIKE A 36-37mm CASE WITH THAT THIN BEZEL AND EXTRA-WIDE DIAL.
-
DIAL: SPEAKING OF DIALS...JUST TAKE A MOMENT TO GET A LOOK AT THIS ONE. THAT METALLIC MOSAIC DIAL IS REALLY A WORK OF ART. SEEN ON MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE PIECES SUCH AS ROLEX, THE TEXTURE AND DEPTH OF THAT FINISH SHOWS AN INCREDIBLE LEVEL OF CRAFTSMANSHIP. CHECK OUT THOSE HANDSOME APPLIED STEEL AND ONYX MARKERS WHICH LOOK SO COOL. ALL THE LUME PLOTS ARE INTACT ON THIS ONE AND MATCH NICELY WITH THE CREAMY TRITIUM ON THOSE STICK STEEL HANDS. WITH JUST THE APPLIED ELGIN TEXT AND THE LOGO, THIS ONE KEEPS IT MINIMALIST AND LETS THAT MOSAIC DIAL DO ALL THE TALKING.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS BEAUTY RUNS ON A 17 JEWEL ELGIN 327 MANUAL WINDER WITH SOME NICE FINISHING. I DON'T KNOW THE SERVICE HISTORY ON THIS ONE, BUT IT'S BEEN RUNNING LIKE A TOTAL CHAMP AND KEEPING GOOD TIME.
THIS GOOD LOOKING FELLA IS MOUNTED ON A VINTAGE PERIOD APPROPRIATE NOS HIRSCH STITCHLESS STRAP WHICH REALLY LOOKS SUPER COOL ON THIS ELGIN. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS ONE. IT'S A SOLID EVERYDAY PIECE AND LOOKS GOOD EITHER DRESSED UP OR LOUNGING AROUND TOWN IN LEISURE SUIT.
