-
CASE: ALL STEEL CUSHION CASE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. WATCH MEASURES A WHOPPING 40.5mm ACROSS CASE NOT COUNTING CROWN by 46mm LUG TO LUG AND IS NICE THICK AND HEAVY. THE CASE HAS A MIRRORED FINISH WHICH LOOKS TO BE ORIGINAL. THERE ARE SOME SIGNS OF WEAR ON THE CASEBACK, BUT OVERALL SHE'S IN CLEAN SHAPE. CHECK OUT THAT GORGEOUS FADED BEZEL WHICH HAS TAKEN ON A LOVELY CHOCOLATE HUE. I JUST LOVE THE STURDY FEEL OF THIS THING ON THE WRIST
-
DIAL: OKAY, THIS IS AN UNUSUALLY COOL DIAL. CHECK OUT THAT INKY BLACK WOVEN TEXTURED FINISH. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING QUITE LIKE IT. I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THOSE PUFFY LUMED ARABIC NUMERALS WITH A NICE CUSTARD PATINA ON THE LUME WHICH MATCHES THAT ON THOSE FAT STUBBY STEEL HANDS. THIS IS A DIAL THAT GETS BETTER EVERY TIME YOU STARE AT IT.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS BRUTE RUNS ON AN IN-HOUSE GERMAN MADE 26J SPEZIMATIC AUTOMATIC. THESE WERE STURDY WORKHORSE MOVEMENTS. THIS WAS SERVICED IN 1/2017 BY ART DIAL WATCHES BASED OUT OF DETROIT AND IT'S RUNNING LIKE A CHAMP.
- WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A SUPPLE ITALIAN BUTTERSCOTCH LEATHER MINIMALIST STRAP WHICH LOOKS DREAMY WITH THAT CUSTARDY LUME. GLASHUTTE REFORMED IN THE 90s TO BECOME ONE OF THE MAJOR GERMAN HAUTE HOROLOGY BRANDS. THIS WATCH DATES BACK TO THE ERA WHEN THESE WERE MADE ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE BERLIN WALL AT THE GUB FACTORY WHICH IS THE SITE WHERE GLASHUTTE IS STILL LOCATED. WHILE THIS MAY NOT BE A PIECE OF HAUTE HOROLOGY. IT IS DEFINITELY COOL AND FUNKY AND HAS A TON OF CHARACTER.
