PUMPKIN BEZEL~1960s ELGIN M134 SKIN DIVER AUTOMATIC

PUMPKIN BEZEL~1960s ELGIN M134 SKIN DIVER AUTOMATIC

Regular price $0.69 Sale

FOR SALE IS ONE OF THE LEGENDARY SKIN-DIVERS OF THE 60s WITH ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BEZELS.

 

  • CASE: OVERSIZED AND SEXY ALL-STEEL MONOCOQUE CASE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE MEASURING A ROBUST 38mm ACROSS BEZEL NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL CROWN BY 46mm LUG TO LUG.  CHECK OUT THOSE SHARP LINES AND THE ORIGINAL BRUSHING IS INTACT ON THIS CASE. I AM SUCH A SUCKER FOR BAKELITE BEZELS, AND THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS. THERE ARE SOME MINOR SCRATCHES IN THE ORANGE/BLACK INSERT, BUT OVERALL IN VIVID AND BRILLIANT CONDITION. BEZEL ROTATES WITH THE PERFECT AMOUNT OF FRICTION.

 

  • DIAL: YOU LOOKING FOR PATINA WITH YOUR LUME? LOOK NO FURTHER.  THE MATTE BLACK DIAL IS IN NICE CONDITION AND LOOKS AWESOME WITH THAT CRISP WHITE TEXT.  I JUST LOVE THE CLASSIC EXPLORER STYLE ALTERNATING LUMED ARROW MARKERS AND NUMERALS. THE BROAD-ARROW STYLE HANDS ARE IN AWESOME SHAPE AS WELL. ONE OF THE SUBTLE GROOVY ELEMENTS ON THIS ONE IS THAT RED DATE WHEEL AT 3.

 

  • MOVEMENT: THIS ELGIN IS POWERED BY A GERMAN PUW M134 MOVEMENT WHICH IS RUNNING NICE AND KEEPING DECENT TIME. DATE IS SEMI-QUICKSET BY ROTATING TIME BETWEEN 8PM AND MIDNIGHT REPEATEDLY. SERVICE HISTORY IS UKNOWN ON THIS ONE BUT HAS BEEN A DAILY WEARER OF MINE FOR WEEKS NOW.

 

  • WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A PERIOD APPROPRIATE TROPIC STYLE STRAP WHICH LOOKS ULTRA SLICK ON THIS ONE.  THESE ARE BECOMING HARDER AND HARDER TO FIND IN DECENT CONDITION. THE M134 DATE ONLY MODEL IS MUCH MORE RARE THAN THE M135 DAY/DATE, AND I PREFER THIS LAYOUT. ONE OF THE BEST LOOKING SKIN-DIVERS FROM THE 60s IN MY OPINION. GRAB THIS ONE JUST IN TIME FOR THE FALL WEATHER AND THE SMASHING OF PUMPKINS!!!
