    Hello everyone....

    Was looking at ebay last night... and came across a odd Super Compressor diving watch....

    from the seller
    ----
    Up for sale is an exactus super compressor. The movement looks to be updated / replaced with a newer 25 jewel Swiss movement by a previous owner. The rest of the watch looks to be original with the plexi replaced. The dial is fading into a tropical brown. This watch has been a great watch that I use 1-2 times a month.
    ----
    I like the "upgraded movement" which is fine with me.. someone "slotted" the caseback a little... augh. I love the hands and the patina on the dial.... and seeing an ad at the end sealed the deal.

    Looking forward to getting this one next week.,...

    Good Hunting

    I have owned a few Super Compressor cased watches. Laser welding can do wonders on this case.

    When I saw the first picture, I thought the hands were mismatched. The advertisement proves that they are perfect.

    Nice one.
