-
CASE: SUPER SHARP ALL-STEEL SQUALE 1157 SKIN-DIVER CASE MEASURING A LARGE 38.2mm ACROSS BEZEL NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL CROWN BY 47.2mm LUG TO LUG. ALL THE ORIGINAL BRUSHED FINISH IS FULLY INTACT CHAMFERS ARE SHARP ON THIS ONE. CHECK OUT THOSE COMPLICATED FACETED LUGS. I LOVE THAT ANODIZED GLOSSY BLACK BEZEL IN REALLY STUNNING CONDITION WHICH ROTATES WITH THE PERFECT AMOUNT OF FRICTION BIDIRECTIONALLY.
-
DIAL: THIS GLOSS BLACK DIAL IS SUBLIME. CHECK OUT THE CAFE AU LAIT LUME ON THAT TRITIUM WHICH MATCHES PERFECTLY BETWEEN THE DIAL AND THOSE BROAD DAGGER STYLE DIVE HANDS. THE LOLLIPOP SWEEP HAND IS A NICE TOUCH. I'M A SUCKER FOR AN ORIGINAL INTERNAL CYCLOPS DIVE CRYSTAL, AND THIS ONE IS SUPER NICE. CRYSTAL DOES HAVE SOME MIONR SCRATCHES BUT IN GOOD OVERALL SHAPE. SUCH A BOLD AND HIGHLY LEGIBLE DIAL WITH A TON OF CONTRAST AND UNCLUTTERED AWESOMENESS.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS TAVERNIER RUNS ON A 17 JEWEL FELSA AUTOMATIC. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN, BUT WATCH HAS BEEN RUNNING EXCELLENTLY OBSERVED OVER A WEEK OF ON/OFF WRIST OBSERVATION. DATE FLIPs APPROPRIATELY. KEEPS GOOD TIME
WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A STURDY TROPIC STYLE STRAP WHICH LOOKS THE BUSINESS. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY SPECIAL, THIS IS IT. WITH ITS SLEEK LINES, LOW PROFILE, AND MINIMALIST DIAL, THIS COULD EVEN BE AN ELEGANT DRESS WATCH. THESE SQUALE DESIGNED CASES WERE REALLY WELL CONSTRUCTED AND HAVE A NICE HEFT TO THEM.
