FOR SALE IS A SUPER CLEAN AND DASHINGLY HANDSOME WALTHAM SKIN-DIVER IN NEAR MINT CONDITION.
-
CASE: SLEEK AND SEXY ALL-STEEL CASE MEASURING A NICE 36.25mm ACROSS BEZEL NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED CROWN BY 43mm LUG TO LUG. CASE IS IN REALLY SHARP CONDITION WITH SOME VERY MINOR HAIRLINES THROUGHOUT. CHECK OUT THOSE SUPER SHARP AND EDGY FACETED LUGS. THE ROTATING FRICTION BEZEL IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND ROTATES WITH THE PERFECT AMOUNT OF TENSION. I LOVE THE LOW-SLUNG AND THIN PROFILE OF THIS PIECE WHICH GIVES IT A NICE DRESSY FEEL. THIS ONE WEARS MORE LIKE A 37-38mm DIVER WITH THAT THINNER BEZEL AND WIDER DIAL.
-
DIAL: THIS DIAL IS SERIOUSLY A LOOKER. CHECKOUT THAT SANDBLASTED TEXTURED LIGHT GREY DIAL WHICH LOOKS SUPER COOL WITH THAT STEEL BEZEL. I LOVE THOSE CHUNKY APPLIED STEEL MARKERS WHICH GIVES THE DIAL SOME COOL DEPTH. THE POP OF ORANGE ON THE SWEEPER HAS SOME SEXY SUMMER CITRUS VIBES.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS WALTHAM RUNS ON A BULLETPROOF SWISS 17JEWEL A.SCHILD MANUAL WINDER DAY/DATE CALIBER. THIS ONE WAS JUST SERVICED AND IS RUNNING STRONG. DATE IS QUICKSET BY PUSHING IN ON THE CROWN. DAY IS NOT QUICKSET. I WILL NOTE THAT THE DAY HAS A BIT OF TROUBLE FLIPPING ON TUESDAY. IT DOES EVENTUALLY FLIP BUT IN THE PM. MY WATCHMAKER SAID THE DAY WHEEL IS SLIGHTLY WARPED IN THAT SEGMENT. OTHERWISE, FOR THE REMAINING DAYS, IT FLIPS SMOOTH.
- WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A SEXY LIGHT GREY MINIMALIST SUEDE STRAP WHICH LOOKS SUPPLE AND SEXY ON THIS SKIN-DIVER. THESE WALTHAMS ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE DIVERS OF THE ERA. THEY HAVE A NICE UNDERSTATED SOPHISTICATION AND REALLY CAN GO FROM BEING A DRESS DIVER TO A WEEKEND WARRIOR.
