CASE: SEXY SOLID STEEL HOODED LUG CASE MEASURING A NICE 38mm ACROSS NOT INCLUDING CROWN BY 42mm LUG TO LUG. CASE IS IN GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION WITH THE CASEBACK SHOWING SIGNS OF WEAR. THE COOLEST THING ABOUT THIS DIVE CASE IS THAT MINTY TACTICAL DUAL SCALE ELAPSED TIME/GMT BEZEL IN SHARK GREY.

DIAL: THERE AIN'T NOTHIN LIKE A BRUSHED DARK GREY SUNBURST DIAL. DIAL IS IN AMAZING CONDITION AND LOOKS FABULOUS WHEN THE SUN DAZZLES OFF OF THAT FINISH. CHECK OUT THOSE FULLY INTACT RECTANGULAR LUME PLOTS WITH A NICE CUSTARDY PATINA WHICH MATCHES PERFECTLY WITH THAT ON THOSE HANDS. I'M NOT ALWAYS A HUGE FAN OF DATE WINDOWS, BUT I LOVE THE PROMINENT STEEL FRAMED "PORT" WINDOW ON THIS ONE. ORIGINAL CRYSTAL IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE WITH SOME MINOR HAIRLINES THAT I'VE BEEN ABLE TO MAINLY BUFF OUT.

MOVEMENT: THIS AWESOME DIVER RUNS ON A HIGH-GRADE GILTED ETA 2479 AUTOMATIC. WATCH IS KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME AND RUNNING STRONG. THIS WATCH WAS SERVICED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO.
WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A SUPPLE GLOVE LEATHER BROWN CALF STRAP WHICH LOOKS VERY SPORTY ON THIS DIVER. BAYLOR IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE VINTAGE BRANDS. BEST KNOWN FOR THEIR COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS WITH HEUER, THEY WERE THE WATCH ARM OF THE JEWELER "ZALES" AND USED THE BEST MATERIALS IN THEIR SPORTS WATCHES. THE BRAND, ESPECIALLY THEIR DIVERS AND CHRONOS, HAVE BECOME QUITE COLLECTIBLE OVER THE YEARS. THIS IS AN EXTRAORDINARILY HANDSOME AND RUGGED VINTAGE DIVER WHICH LOOKS AND FEELS AWESOME ON THE WRIST.
