路Looks a lot like a Kon Tiki.
True. But what about the date window?
Incoming Teaser

路Kontiki was my initial thoughts but Lou guessed Kontiki
and you didn't' acknowledge it so I dismissed that brand.
Now you say true when Dennis says Kontiki. So here is my guess
Eterna-matic Kontiki Automatic with Date ~1958
The picture is poor and details hard to see so here's the white one
also. Looks like an exact match to me.
"what about the date window"- date wheel has gilt print
Bill Sohne- give someone else a chance- here is the thread

Pitpro, you've done it again!
For the record, I didn't say LouS was wrong... but he made two guesses in that post and I only give full acknowledgment to confident, unequivocal, and fully accurate answers like this one. Half points to LouS.馃槈
Is that Bill Sohne's black dialed first series KonTiki with date? Because his is the only other one I've seen on the web.

路I only knew of the existence of this model from the fine print at bottom right in this French ad:
M锚me mod猫le, mais avec calendrier.
I paused only for a moment before hammering the BIN, because I have a penchant for rare 50's dive watches that don't cost $20k. 馃榾. Ya gotta read the fine print. Arm yourselves with knowledge, brothers!

路Could you share the link that you bought it from?
I thought I was on top of all these that came up for sale.
Guess not.

路This may be a legitimate variation of MMMD's watch.
It has the hands of the Super Kontiki of the period.

I refreshed my search, it popped up, I bought it. Right place at right time.

路2 ads-
Just an educated guess, but I think the
mercedes hands were the 2nd iteration,
probably 1959.

路Damn, I have my ebay set for international.
I don't know why this wouldn't have shown up.

I think you would have to have been set to see completed listings with mine, because it couldn't have been there very long.
