FOR SALE IS A SUPER COOL BENRUS 3-STAR GENT'S DRESS WATCH WITH THAT GROOVY PORTHOLE DATE WINDOW AT 6
CASE: ALL STEEL CASE MEASURING A NICE 34.5 NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL 3 STAR CROWN CROWN BY 42mm LUG TO LUG. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY NICE WEARING CASE DUE TO THE THIN BEZEL AND NICE LONG LUGS. NICE CLASSIC 60s DESIGN ON THIS ONE.
DIAL: THIS IS ONE OF THE NICEST DRESS DIALS I'VE EVER SEEN. KILLER SUNBURST BRUSHED SILVER DIAL IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. GORGEOUS APPLIED 12/3/9 ARABIC MARKERS HAVE A WHIFF OF JAEGER LECOULTRE. FOR ME, IT'S ALL ABOUT THAT PORTHOLE DATE WINDOW AT 6. THIS ONE EVEN HAS THE ORIGINAL INTERNAL CYCLOPS IN THE CRYSTAL TO ACCENTUATE THE DISPLAY. I WILL MENTION THAT THERE IS A SMALL INTERNAL MICRO-PRESSURE CRACK ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE CYLCOPS WHICH CAN BE SEEN IN SOME ANGLES. I DECIDED TO KEEP THE CRYSTAL BECAUSE IT'S SO FRIGGIN' COOL, BUT THIS COULD ALSO BE EASILY REPLACED WITH A PLAIN ACRYLIC.
MOVEMENT: THIS GENTLEMAN RUNS ON A 25 JEWEL SWISS MADE ETA AUTOMATIC WHICH IS RUNNING STRONG AND KEEPING GOOD TIME. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN ON THIS ONE.
WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A VINTAGE LIZARD GRAIN BROWN STRAP WHICH I THINK SUITS THIS BENRUS NICELY. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BENRUS DESIGNS. SUCH A FANTASTIC DIAL. YOU GOTTA LOVE THE PORTHOLE
