Lovely skindiver from the early 60's. Case measures 36mm and is all stainless steel. Inside is an ETA 2452 automatic semi-quickset movement. The watch was fitted with a period correct high-dome acrylic crystal and was pressure tested and passed with 30M of water resistance. Overall the watch is in nice condition, but it does have scratches and nicks that commensurate with it's age. The real pièce de résistance is the gloss black stardust dial and it's beautifully warmed indices. Careful observers will note the gilt hands, gilt chapter ring and Submariner-like dial plots. Hands were re-lumed by Jack at IWW to match the dial. Nothing glows. This is a very rare piece and not many come up for sale. This one has no issues, runs beautifully, and has a lot of character. Case: all stainless 36mm with 19mm lugs Bezel: Unidirectional all stainless Crystal: high domed acrylic Movement: ETA 2452 Crown: signed Strap: period-correct Tropic Sport (will include original packaging) I'm not in a hurry to sell and would like this to go to another collector who appreciates this type of watch.

Let's try a price drop from $775 to $695. I know no one is buying vintage anymore, but this is a really cool watch with the same dial configuration as the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms.
Will reduce to $500 shipped within the CONUS. This is one of those watches that photos don't do justice, the dial and hands are gorgeous in real life.
