-
CASE: HEAVY DUTY ALL-STEEL CURVACEOUS CASE MEASURING A HEALTHY 38.3mm NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED CROWNS BY 45.5mm LUG TO LUG. THIS THING HAS SOME WEIGHT TO IT AND WEARS QUITE LARGE WITH BECAUSE OF THAT CASE SHAPE AND THAT EXTRA LONG LUG TO LUG MEASUREMENT. CASE DOES HAVE SOME MINOR HAIRLINE SCRATCHES AND A DING ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT BACKSIDE OF THE LUG(WHICH YOU CAN ONLY SEE IF YOU TURN THE WATCH OVER).
-
DIAL: THIS TV DIAL IS SO FRICKIN' COOL. CHECK OUT THE GUNMETAL GREY BACKGROUND WITH THAT TANGERINE ORANGE CENTRAL SQUARE WHICH FRAMES THE ROTATING ALARM DISC. THE CENTRAL SEGMENT HAS A SUBTLE SUNBURST BRUSHED FINISH WHICH REALLY LOOKS DAZZLING IN THE LIGHT. I DIG THOSE HORIZONTALLY ORIENTED RECTANGULAR APPLIED MARKERS WHICH ARE TOTALLY GROOVY. HANDSET LOOKS CLEAN AND ALL THE LUME IS INTACT ON BOTH THESE AND THE DIAL. THAT APPLIED JAEGER LECOULTRE EMBLEM AT THE 9 POSITION LETS YOU KNOW THIS AIN'T NO AVERAGE FUNKY 70s WATCH.
