I'VE GOT THIS GLYCINE COMPRESSOR MOUNTED ON A HANDSOME GREY SUEDE STRAP....WHICH MAKES SENSE FOR THIS PIECE. I JUST LOVE THE BLENDING OF VINTAGE WATCH GENRES ON THIS ONE. ON ONE HAND, ITS A MANLY DRESS WATCH WITH SLEEK LINES AND A CLASSY DIAL, AND ON THE OTHER ITS A SPORTY DIVER CASED IN A COMPRESSOR STEEL BODY. EPSA, WHO MANUFACTURED THE CASE FOR THIS ONE, WAS FAMOUS AND HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER IN THE 60s AND 70s FOR THEIR EXTREMELY STURDY SUPER-COMPRESSOR CASES. THIS IS A GORGEOUS ALL PURPOSE VINTAGE WATCH WITH A GREAT LOOK AND AN AWESEOME PEDIGREE.
