CASE: OVERSIZED CHROMED CASE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION MEASURING A ROBUST 42mm ACROSS BEZEL NOT INCLUDING CROWN BY 41mm LUG TO LUG.

THAT ROTATING BLUE/BLACK/SILVER WORLD-TIMER DIVE BEZEL IS TOTALLY COOL. AND, YOU HAVE TO LOVE THE SCUBA-DUDE ON THE CASEBACK.

DIAL: REALLY ONE OF THOSE DIALS YOU HAVE TO SEE IN PERSON TO FULLY APPRECIATE. IT'S A GRADIENT DARK BLUE EFFECT WHICH GETS DARKER AS YOU MOVE TOWARDS THE PERIPHERY. NICE GLOSS FINISH WHICH REALLY MAKES THIS A TOTAL BEAUTY TO GAZE AT. THE WHITE MARKERS AND THAT GROOVY ARABIC ZORO “12”REALLY POP AGAINST THE DARK BACKGROUND. THE TRAPEZOIDAL DATE WINDOW IS A NICE TOUCH AS IS THOSE CLEAN WHITE LUMED STICK HANDS AND PADDLE SWEEPER. ORIGINAL CRYSTAL IS IN CLEAN SHAPE WITH SOME MINOR SHALLOW SCRATCHES WHICH WILL EASILY POLISH OUT WITH SOME POLYWATCH.
