CASE: SEXY AND SOLID ALL STEEL CASE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION MEASURING 36mm ACROSS CASE NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL CROWN BY 44.5mm LUG TO LUG. THIS ONE IS A REALLY UNIQUE CASE DESIGN WHICH ALMOST HAS A LITTLE SKIN-DIVER(62MAS) THROWN INTO THE DESIGN MIX BUT THEN GETS A LITTLE FANCY WITH THE FLUTED BEZEL. CHECK OUT ALL THOSE SHARP CHAMFERS. REALLY EXCELLENT PRESERVATION OF ORIGINAL FINISHES ON THIS ONE. I LOVE THE WAY THIS ONE WEARS ESPECIALLY ONE THAT NICELY FITTING ORIGINAL BRACELET.

DIAL: THIS ONE IS SERIOUSLY A LOOKER. FAIRLY SUBTLE IN ITS EXCELLENCE BUT WITH A TON OF GROOVY DESIGN PANACHE. AT FIRST GLANCE, IT'S JUST A CLASSIC MID 60s SILVER SUNBURST DIAL WITH SOME GOOD LOOKING CROSS-HAIRS. BUT, IT'S THOSE EXTREMELY DETAILED AND WELL FINISHED APPLIED STEEL MARKERS WHICH GRAB THE ATTENTION. I LOVE THE PYRAMID DESIGN OF THEM WHICH REALLY ADD SOME AWESOME DEPTH TO THAT DIAL. ALL TIED TOGETHER NICELY BY THE 2-TONE DAY/DATE WINDOW ATND THOSE SHARP DAUPHINE HANDS.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS SEIKO RUNS ON A BULLETPROOF SEIKO 5126 AUTOMATIC WHICH IS RUNNING BEAUTIFULLY. THE DATE IS QUICKSET BY PUSHING IN ON THE CROWN REPEATEDLY. THE DAY IS NON-QUICKSET. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN, BUT THIS ONE IS A STRONG RUNNER.
WATCH IS MOUNTED ON ITS ORIGINAL GORGEOUS MULTI-LINK BRACELET IN NEAR-MINT CONDITION. THE BRACELET IS SIZED FOR MY 6.75" WRIST WITH 2 EXTRA MICRO-ADJUSTS. THIS ONE REALLY HAS IT ALL: THAT SPORTY DIVER STYLE CASE MATCHED WITH THAT MORE ELEGANT FLUTED BEZEL. THIS IS A GREAT ALL-ROUNDER WHICH CAN EASILY GO FROM DRESS WATCH TO EVERYDAY KNOCK-AROUND PIECE.
