FOR SALE IS AN ULTRA-SLICK LATE 60s DUGENA/JENNY SEALAB DIVER WITH SOME SERIOUS 'TUDE.
- CASE: BLOCKY ALL-STEEL CUSHION CASE MEASURING A NICE 40mm ACROSS BEZEL NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SCREW DOWN CROWN. CASE IS IN EXCELLENT AND UNPOLISHED CONDITION. THIS IS A TOTAL DREAM-BOAT. LOOK AT THAT KILLER RADIAL BRUSHED TOP AND THOSE MIRRORED SIDES. SUPER SUPER SHARP WITH SOME MINOR SCRATCHES ON THE TOPS OF THE LUGS AND SOME EVIDENCE OF OPENING SCRATCHES ON THE CASEBACK. CHECK OUT THAT GORGEOUS JET-BLACK BAKELITE BEZEL IN REALLY WELL PRESERVED SHAPE. THE BEZEL ITSELF IS A WORK OF ART WITH THOSE STEEL INLAYS, LUMED PIP AND NUMERALS, AND THAT THICK COIN-EDGED STEEL RING. IT ROTATES BIDIRECTIONALLY WITH THE PERFECT AMOUNT OF FRICTION.
- DIAL: NOW, THIS IS AS GOOD AS THEY GET, PEOPLE. JUST LOOK AT THAT THING. THAT SCOTCHLITE CREAM BACKGROUND WITH THAT BRILLIANT GLOSS BLACK BULLSEYE AND THOSE YELLOW ACCENTS IS ALMOST TOO MUCH TO HANDLE. AND, WITH JUST THE 2 LINES OF TEXT, IT'S SIMPLE AND BOLD. THOSE GLOSS BLACK HANDS WITH THE CUSTARD LUME JUST REALLY SEAL THE DEAL. MY FAVORITE SUBTLE DETAIL IS HOW " T SWISS MADE T" IS WRITTEN IN YELLOW ON THE BOTTOM OF THE DIAL. THE ORIGINAL CRYSTAL DOES HAVE SOME MINOR SCRATCHES WHICH I'VE MAINLY BUFFED OUT WHICH DON'T DETRACT FROM THAT GORGEOUS VIEW OF THE DIAL.
- MOVEMENT: THIS DIVER RUNS ON A SWISS ETA 2452 MOVEMENT. IT RUNS BUTTER SMOOTH AND KEEPS EXCELLENT TIME. DATE IS SEMI QUICKSET. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN ON THIS ONE, BUT SHE HAS BEEN RUNNING GREAT BOTH ON/OFF THE WRIST.
- WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A VINTAGE TROPIC STYLE RUBBER STRAP WHICH ANCHORS THIS ONE NICELY DOWN TO THE WRIST. IT'S RARE TO FIND DIVERS WITH WHITE DIALS FROM THIS ERA, AND THIS ONE IS RATHER EXQUISITE. THESE SEALABS WERE MADE BY JENNY WATCHES FOR DUGENA AND ARE SOME OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER DIVE WATCHES FROM THE 60s AND 70s USING SOME OF THE BEST CASES AND COMPONENTS OF THE TIME. THIS SEALAB IS JUST UNREAL. THIS IS GONNA BE A MAJOR SCORE FOR SOME DIVE WATCH GEEK OUT THERE.
