FOR SALE IS A GROOVY AND EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE LARGE CASED 300M GEOTA AUTOMATIC DIVER USING THE VENERABLE MONNIN CASE MADE FAMOUS BY THE HEUER 844.
-
CASE: OVERSIZED AND SEXY ALL-STEEL MONNIN CASE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION MEASURING A ZAFTIG 43mm ACROSS INCLUDING CROWN GUARDS(NOT INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL SCREW-DOWN CROWN). THIS IS A SERIOUSLY BEEFY PIECE OF STEEL YET SOMEHOW IS ABLE TO FEEL SUAVE AND ELEGANT ON THE WRIST. I JUST LOVE THOSE CURVY LUGS THAT FLOW SEAMLESSLY INTO THE BODY OF THIS WIDE CASE. CHECK OUT THE FACTORY ORIGINAL FINISHING WITH THAT SATIN BRUSHING ON THE TOP INTACT AND THOSE SHARP SLOPING CHAMFERS. IT'S THE BEZEL, THOUGH, THAT REALLY PULLS AT THE HEART STRINGS. CHECK OUT THAT KILLER 2-TONE RED/BLACK HEMI DESIGN WITH THAT FANTASTIC GHOST PINK FADE. THIS IS THE STUFF, BABY!!! BEZEL HAS A NICE AND CRISP 60 CLICK UNI-DIRECTIONAL ACTION WHICH OPERATES LIKE A TOOL OF PRECISION. IT'S A NICE ADDED TOUCH TO HAVE THAT LUMED TRIANGULAR PIP INTACT. THIS THING TOTALLY SLAYS!!
-
DIAL: NICE CLEAN AND CLASSIC LOOK WITH THAT GORGEOUS MATTE BLACK DIAL AND THOSE TOASTY AGED LUME PLOT MARKERS. SIMPLE AND NO-BULLSHIT. I LOVE THAT CLASSIC PLONGEUR STYLE HANDSET WITH THE CUSTARD LUME FULLY INTACT AND MATCHING PERFECTLY WITH THAT ON THE DIAL. THE ORIGINAL GLASS CRYSTAL IS COMPLETELY SCRATCH FREE, AND THE VIEW OF THE FACE BELOW IS MIGHTY NICE.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS NEANDERTHAL RUNS ON A HIGH-GRADE 25J ETA 2872 WHICH IS KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME AND RUNNING STRONG. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT THE MOVEMENT LOOKS CLEAN AND THE GASKET APPEARS FAIRLY NEW. DATE IS QUICKSET.
- WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A THICK AND ROBUST DARK BROWN SUEDE STRAP WHICH WORKS AWESOME WITH THE WARM PATINA ON THE DIAL AND BEZEL. THIS PARTICULAR MONNIN DIVE CASE STYLE IS ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC AND COLLECTIBLE. NO WONDER HEUER CHOSE IT FOR THEIR 844 MODEL. WHEN YOU THROW THAT LUSCIOUS GHOST BEZEL AND THAT CREAMY DIAL/HANDS PATINA INTO THE MIX, THIS IS VINTAGE DIVER GOLD.
