FOR SALE IS A SUPER SUAVE MID 60s MELUX SKIN-DIVER WITH SOME AWESOME PATINA. ON THE ORIGINAL BEADS OF RICE BRACELET.
-
CASE: NEAR MINT ALL-STEEL SKIN-DIVER CASE MEASURING A FORMIDABLE 37.5mm ACROSS BEZEL NOT INCLUDING CROWN BY 47.5mm LUG TO LUG. THE ORIGINAL BRUSHED FINISH IS FULLY INTACT AND LUGS ARE SUPER SHARP AND CRISPY. WHAT MAKES THIS ONE A STANDOUT IS THAT BEZEL. CHECK OUT THAT GREY GHOSTED BEAUTY. SOME VERY MINOR SCRATCHES BUT THE AGING ON THIS THING IS OTHERWORLDLY AND LOOKS KILLER AGAINST THAT SILVER DIAL.
-
DIAL: THIS NEAR MINT SUNBURST SILVER DIVE DIAL IS SUBLIME. I LOVE THE LUMED ARROW HANDS AND THOSE PROMINENT APPLIED STEEL MARKERS. THE DATE AT 6 IS SUPER COOL, AND WHO DOESN'T LOVE A ROULETTE DATE WHEEL.....THE ANSWER IS EVERYBODY LOVES THAT.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS SKIN-DIVER RUNS ON A 25 JEWEL OTERO 792 AUTOMATIC. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN, BUT WATCH HAS BEEN RUNNING EXCELLENTLY OBSERVED OVER A WEEK OF ON/OFF WRIST OBSERVATION. DATE FLIPs APPROPRIATELY AND IS THE SEMI-QUICKSET TYPE. KEEPS GOOD TIME
WATCH IS MOUNTED ON ITS ORIGINAL BEADS OF RICE "MELUX" SIGNED BRACELET IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. BRACELET IS CURRENTLY SIZED FOR MY 6.75" WRIST WITH 6 ADDITIONAL MICRO-ADJUSTS. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY SPECIAL, THIS IS IT. I CAN'T SAY I KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE MELUX BRAND, BUT BASED ON THE MOVEMENT AND OTHER DESIGN CUES THIS LOOKS TO BE A WEST GERMAN PRODUCT. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A CLASSIC SKIN-DIVER WITH A SLIGHTLY MORE UNIQUE FLAIR, THIS ONE IS SUCH A SWEET FIND.
