DIAL: SERIOUSLY DEBONAIRE. THIS BRILLIANT METALLIC SUNBURST BLUE IS THE BUSINESS. CHECK OUT THOSE APPLIED BLOCKY STEEL MARKERS WITH CRAZY ATTENTION TO DETAIL. THEIR STEPPED DESIGN GIVES THIS DIAL MIND-EXPANDING DEPTH. ALL LUME PLOTS ARE INTACT AND HAVE A NICE CUSTARDY PATINA WHICH MATCHES BEAUTIFLLY WITH THAT ON THOSE CLEAN DAGGER HANDS. THE ORIGINAL GLASS CRYSTAL HAS AN INTERNAL HALO EFFECT WHICH YOU CAN SEE IN SOME OF THE PICS WHICH MAKES THIS ONE PSYCHEDELIC IN DIRECT SUN.

THIS SPACY AND BADASS ELGIN IS MOUNTED ON A PERIOD APPROPRIATE SPEIDEL JUBILEE STYLE BRACELET WHICH WAS MEANT FOR THIS SEXY FELLA. I’M ALSO INCLUDING A NICE SUPPLE BROWN LEATHER STRAP WHICH NICELY COMPLIMENTS THIS PIECE. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A FUNKY EVERYDAY PIECE WITH SOME COOL ATTITUDE, THIS GALAXIE IS A GROOVER.
