    Hi Everyone

    Yup I am posting another one of my watches from my collection to see if anyone is interested. This is a very cool watch at about 38 mm sq.
    some verbage from Analogshift...

    "The Depthmaster is of a class of dive watches often referred to as a "Baby Panerai" due to the similarity of its case to those used by Panerai. However, at 37.5mm the case--which was also used by Sandoz, Alpha, Le Phare, and Vetta--is more suitable to smaller wrists. Powered by a redoubtable ETA caliber 2472 movement, this diver brings some great touches to the vintage dive watch formula: a beautifully patinated dial, a rotating bezel, and of course that handsome case."

    I had this watch for years the dial is a cool Aquamarine blue/ green dial... missing some lum in the end of the hour hand , lum turned dark over the years... Bezel turns well and has most of it original paint.... The lug pins screw in, One is missing so I am using a spring bar.. one is present... Case is in nice original shape lugs are sharp also has some surface scratches etc.... The case edging is sharp and does not appear to be polished. Service history is unknown ( I dont remember ). Personally I think this watch is the best iteration of this case . You know its the BEST as it has a SEAL on the caseback !!! See photos...

    I did not have a wrench with me today so no movement shots presently ... But it does have a movement and proper inner caseback. Simple quick iphone photos... no glamor shots here folks... if you want more photos please ask...


    2900 USD plus paypal.... and shipping.... Or best offer .
    I love the SEAL !!!

    Congrats to both buyer and seller. I hope the new owner doesn’t intend to just flip it :D

    Congratulations to the seller and buyer. BTW - does this caseback use the same wrench as the octagonal Defy?
