UP ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK IS AN EXTREMELY SHARP 1972 SEIKO LORD MARVEL 36000 HI-BEAT WITH PRISTINE SILVER LINEN DIAL.
-
CASE: ANGULAR GOLD PLAQUE CASE IN MINT CONDITION. THIS BEAUTY MEASURES A NICE 35mm ACROSS NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL CROWN BY 42mm LUG TO LUG. THIS CASE IS IN SHARP AND UNPOLISHED ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH HARDLY A SCRATCH ON IT. IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A GOLD VERSION OF THESE WITHOUT WEAR NEVERTHELESS ONE IN THIS PRISTINE CONDITION.
-
DIAL: WHAT A DAZZLER. CHECK OUT THAT STUNNING CHAMPAGNE LINEN DIAL IN MINTY CONDITION. I LOVE THOSE PROMINENT ARABIC NUMERALS IN BLACK WHICH REALLY POP AGAINST THAT LINEN DIAL. REALLY SHARP DAGGER HANDSET TIES IT ALL TOGETHER NICELY.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS LORD MARVEL IS POWERED BY A 23 JEWEL 5740C HANDWOUND HI-BEAT 36000 IN-HOUSE MOVEMENT. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT IT'S RUNNING FLAWLESSLY AND KEEPING SUPER ACCURATE TIME. THERE ARE SOME SERVICE MARKS ON THE INSIDE CASEBACK.
THIS SUAVE KILLER COMES MOUNTED ON A FLAT BLACK BRIDLE LEATHER STRAP WHICH LOOKS SUPER COOL ON THIS CROONER. THESE LORD MARVELS ARE SOME OF THE NICEST PIECES THAT SEIKO MADE IN THE LATE 60s AND EARLY 70s. WITH THEIR HI-BEAT MOVEMENTS, HIGHLY STYLIZED CASES, AND KILLER LINEN DIALS, THESE ARE ESSENTIAL FOR ANY COLLECTOR. THIS PARTICULAR EXAMPLE IS IN EXCEPTIONALLY SHARP CONDITION WHICH MAKES FOR THE PERFECT DRESS WATCH OR EVERYDAY CASUAL PIECE.
