Having recently picked up a lovely little Gold F300 I have the itch for something else to add variety to my watch box. Chunky 70's style welcome, anything considered from divers to something I really like which is the Omega Cone F300. Certainly needs to be 35mm or above and Stainless Steel(one gold watch is enough for me).

I don't really have money to make adjustments upwards unless very close, but happy to consider trades below value with cash adjustment(please tell me what you are proposing cash adjustment wise, if above or below in order to keep things simple and back/front messages to a minimum).

Anyway what I have for trade is this little 36mm Unver Super Compressor(head only) which I will value at £550 [EDIT] drop to £495

The watch itself I would class as being good condition for its age which I think is 1966 looking back at the pic I just took of the Brevit numbers inside the caseback. The all important top crown has all its teeth intact(I understand these are very difficult to find replacements for) and the lower crown winds and sets including date change as it should. One thing I will mention is while the upper crown does rotate the inner bezel, I think the incorrect crystal has been fitted at some point as it can be a little tricky with its rotating(as mentioned though, I have checked the upper crown teeth and these are fine). This aside there isn't really much to highlight, I don't think the case has ever been polished and the edges look good with the odd marks and dings as can be seen in the pics.

I don't know the service history of this watch, it has always kept good time for me when worn, giving a few winds out the box to get it started I have worn it for 3 or 4 days in a row numerous times and it's kept very good time indeed. I'm sure it would benefit from a service however.

The dial looks in good order with some marks due to the glossy finish(nothing unsightly, I'm just giving details here) and the tritium has turned to a nice rich khaki colour which I rather like. The hands have a lighter tone to them but I have seen this on numerous Super Compressors with this dial and handset so nothing unusual there.

The caseback has some old scuff marks on it which seem to have naturally polished out with the years, along with the rest of the case back markings which can be seen at certain angles.

Well think that's about it, apart from the pics which will hopefully show below.

{EDIT] Sold elsewhere. thank you OF for the space.

Had somebody asking for some details on this watch yesterday so may aswell share them here.

The movement is an AS 1712/13 and lug to lug is 43mm.

Also I forgot to add previously that I recently fitted a new and better fitting crystal which suits it much better is it's chunkier and more box like as I think these super compressors tended to be. I found by fitting a nylon gasket to the outside of the rotating inner bezel it has sorted out the issue of it coming loose and getting stuck, it now rotates really smoothly, much better. Here's a video I made to show this(sorry for my vid skills, only using a mobile phone camera). Strap not indluded.
