DIAL: GORGEOUS SUNBURST SILVER FACE IN GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION WITH SOME SIGNS OF PATINA AND EVEN TONING. I JUST LOVE THOSE ALTERNATING INLAID/APPLIED SILVER-TONED THIN MARKERS WHICH ADD SOME NICE DEPTH TO THIS FACE....AND WHO DOESN'T LOVE CROSS-HAIRS ON THEIR VINTAGE DIALS? MY FAVORITE PART HAS TO BE THOSE BLACK TIPPED DAUPHINE HANDS WHICH SERIOUSLY LOOK SPORTY.

I'VE GOT THIS COMPRESSOR MOUNTED ON A BAD-ASS GREY GENUINE SNAKESKIN WHICH ADDS TO THE DRESSINESS OF THIS JACQUES PREVARD. I JUST LOVE THE BLENDING OF VINTAGE WATCH GENRES ON THIS ONE. ON ONE HAND, ITS A MANLY DRESS WATCH WITH SLEEK LINES AND A CLASSY DIAL, AND ON THE OTHER ITS A SPORTY DIVER CASED IN A COMPRESSOR STEEL BODY. EPSA, WHO MANUFACTURED THE CASE FOR THIS ONE, WAS FAMOUS AND HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER IN THE 60s AND 70s FOR THEIR EXTREMELY STURDY SUPER-COMPRESSOR CASES. THIS IS A GORGEOUS ALL PURPOSE VINTAGE WATCH WITH A GREAT LOOK AND AN AWESEOME PEDIGREE.
