FOR SALE IS A RARE AND ALL ORIGINAL ORFINA GOLDEN FLAME TWIN AUTOMATIC DUAL TIME GENT’S WATCH
CASE: SUPER FUNKY TV SHAPED CASE MEASURING A HUNKY 42mm NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL DOUBLE SIGNED CROWNS. REALLY COOL SLOPING DESIGN ON THIS BAD BOY. SOME MINOR PITTING ON THE SIDES BUT REALLY OVERALL IN SHARP AND UNPOLISHED CONDITION.
DIAL: THIS DIAL IS FAR....FUCKIN'....OUT. DOES IT GET CRAZIER THAN THIS? THE ANSWER IS: IT DOES NOT. I LOVE THOSE 2 IRIDESCENT VIOLET OVALS HOUSING 2 SEPERATE WATCH FACES. IT’S INTERESTING THAT THE 2 DIALS ARE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT IN DATE WINDOW PLACEMENT AS WELL AS ONE HAVING ARABIC NUMERALS AND THE OTHER JUST HASH MARKS. THE COPPER BACKGROUND IS TOTALLY PSYCHEDELIC WITH THAT SWOOPY BRUSHED FINISHING. SOME AMAZING ATTENTION TO DETAIL HERE.
MOVEMENT: THIS GENTLEMAN RUNS ON 2 INDEPENDENT 21 JEWEL(HENCE THE 42 JEWEL COUNT) ETA 2671 AUTOMATICS WHICH ARE HI BEAT AT 28800. I DON’T KNOW THE SERVICE HISTORY ON THIS ONE BUT BOTH CLOCKS ARE RUNNING SMOOTH AND KEEPING TIGHT TIME.
WATCH COMES MOUNTED ON THE ORIGINAL ORFINA SIGNED HIGHLY TAPERED STEEL BRACELET IN NICE CONDITION. THIS ONE IS CURRENTLY SIZED FOR MY 6.5” WRIST WITH 7 ADDITIONAL MICROADJUSTS TO SIZE UP. THIS ONE SCREAMS 70s DECADENCE. ON TOP OF BEING TOTALLY LOUD AND TOTALLY OBNOXIOUS, THIS DOUBLE FLAME IS QUITE USEFUL FOR TRACKING 2 TIME ZONES. THIS IS A MEGA STATEMENT PIECE FROM THE BRAND THAT WAS FAMOUS FOR PRODUCING THE 1st PORSCHE DESIGN WATCHES BACK IN 1972. THIS IS A TOTAL PARTY ON THE WRIST AND AN ABSOLUTE SHOW-STOPPER.
