On it's way from Giuliano

Thanks abrod520 for the info

 

Beautiful looking strap! Can't wait to see it on a watch

 

it's patiently awaiting it's arrival



Sent from Galaxy S6 Edge via Tapacrap

 

Arrived last night and delighted

The Seller, OF Member Watchcollect, is a terrifically nice bloke, & a complete Gentleman to buy from - Thank you

 

Mark II KonTiki dress-diver (37mm model) from 1960. Unpolished, with original, unpolished GF bracelet. Good stuff cheap.

 

While not an airplane nut, I do have a real soft spot for the beautiful design of the Lockheed Constellation, and can't resist a nice vintage, metal model when I see one. Not easy to find these smaller ones (10" wingspan) with the livery (decals) and/or propellers still fully intact...



This was a model of an early version. You can see the similarities to the one below, which was delivered in 1949. Much like vintage watch model lines, later versions of the Air France Constellations had different design cues, even if the same basic plane was in use.

 

Thanks to a heads up from @GregH and no thanks to my followed searches, I picked it up from a questionable seller on eBay. As @gemini4 said, I can always get my money back, if it's not what it appears to be.

 

Should it not be the thin Logo, & a flat top A ????????........Franken ?

 

another modern watch...really like this one.

Chronometer (no cert but I couldn't care less)

Good looking watch - defo a daily wearer.

Damn, you're correct. Just when you think you know what you're looking for...

 

Sure (from previous owner)

 

This one hit two of my soft spots pretty hard A) alarm and B) conditionally perfect. A pretty respectable seller claiming fully serviced hit another.

It's a good thing a well known brand isn't a big deal; plus I don't have a gold (plated) alarm in the corral so I was left pretty defenseless. At least that's what I'll tell my wife...

A. S. 1475 movement. It looks different than my Bulova wrist alarm movement but the dial and the case are similar to the Bulova in style. The S+F is a mm larger at 35.





Oh, and the seller dates it to around the mid-1960s which seems correct...

Congratulations!
I'm glad you pulled the trigger and I'm crossing my fingers that it arrives!

 

The oval O is really off though...

 

You've made some good suggestions yourself already... So have you found out the real cause yet?

 

A few NOS Movado/Zenith hands

 

KO2907, super happy.

 

First Vintage Diver! Digging the explorer dial.

 

JDM Seiko for $100, running -2 against the atomic clock. Fit and finish are awesome, will be a good solid beater.
