Dear OF,

Today I decided to sell this sweet LIP to fund another purchase. The watch is all stainless steel. LIP was a watch manufacturer based in France.


The watch is in excellent condition. The radially finished bezel is an eyecatcher and it contrasts very nicely to the polished bevels. The striking sunburst dial aligns with the bezel.


The watch is quite flat because it houses a manual wind movement. The height is 9mm. The crown is unsigned and I have no reason to believe it is not original.


Well-finished case back signed with the serial no.


Dimensions are 38mm diameter without crown and ... no lugs 😀



The watch runs well enough for me, but not perfect obviously.


Sales specifics
I linked to some feedback below.

My asking price for this piece is EUR 335,00 including tracked & insured shipping within the EU. I can ship worldwide for a small additional cost, PM for specifics. This includes the watch and strap as pictured.
The watch and I are located in The Netherlands.

Hi Mafkees:

That's a very cool and unique watch! It reminds me of several Omega Dynamics that I've owned. Just one question is the size. When I've tried to find comparable ones for sale they are 37/38 mm wide without the crown. Is this one truly 34mm? I can wear that size but it may end up for my wife if not.

Thanks!

Doug

Hi Doug, thanks for pointing this out to me!

I must have mixed up my notes because I just checked the dimensions and the diameter is in fact 38mm without crown. The 9mm height was accurate though.

I apologise for the mistake. I’ll include a wrist shot on my fairly average sized wrist to show scale.
