-
CASE: HEFTY SOLID STEEL CASE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THIS DUDE MEASURES A NICE 38mm ACROSS CASE NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SCREW-DOWN CROWN BY 43mm LUG TO LUG. CHECKOUT THAT FACTORY ORIGINAL RADIAL BRUSHED CASE TOP AND THOSE SHARP UNPOLISHED CHAMFERS. I'M A SUCKER FOR BAKELITE BEZELS, AND THIS DARK BLUE ONE IS A PARTICULARLY CLEAN ONE. YOU GOTTA LOVE THE SCUBA-DUDE SHISH-KABOBING THAT FISH ON THE CASEBACK.

DIAL: THIS SILVER PANDA DIAL IS DROP-DEAD GORGEOUS AND A KILLER LOOK. BRILLIANT SUNBURST SILVER BACKDROP IN SUPER CLEAN SHAPE. NICE BOLD APPLIED STEEL MARKERS WHICH ARE ALL FLANKED WITH DOUBLE LUME PLOTS WHICH MATCH NICELY WITH THE TRITIUM ON THOSE STEEL STICK HANDS. I JUST LOVE THE COLOR PALETTE ON THIS ONE WITH THOSE IRIDESCENT BLUE SUBDIALS AND TACHY RING JUXTAPOSED WITH THE ORANGE HANDS. PURE VINTAGE MAGIC.

MOVEMENT: THIS FUNKY CHICKEN IS POWERED BY A VALJOUX 7733. ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME. WATCH JUST WAS IN TO SEE THE WATCHMAKER AND GOT A TUNE-UP. CHRONO SNAPS BACK TO ZERO AFFIRMATIVELY
- THIS HEMA IS MOUNTED ON A VINTAGE STYLE DARK BLUE PERFORATED TROPIC WHICH WORKS PERFECTLY WITH THE COLOR SCHEME OF THE DIAL AND BEZEL.
