FOR SALE IS A SUPER RARE ELGIN MIL STYLE SKIN-DIVER AUTOMATIC WITH ORIGINAL BOX
-
CASE: SUPER SHARP ALL-STEEL SKIN-DIVER CASE MEASURING A LARGE 38mm ACROSS BEZEL NOT INCLUDING CROWN. ALL THE ORIGINAL BRUSHED FINISH IS FULLY INTACT AND LUGS ARE SUPER SHARP AND CRISPY. I LOVE THAT ANODIZED GLOSSY BLACK BEZEL IN REALLY STUNNING CONDITION WHICH ROTATES BIDIRECTIONALLY. LUME MATERIAL IS STILL PRESENT ON THE BEZEL PIP.
-
DIAL: THIS GLOSS BLACK HAS GOT SOME COOL PATINA WITH SIGNS OF AGING ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE DIAL WHICH GIVES THIS ONE SOME COOL VINTAGE VIBES. SO SIMPLE WITH ITS ONE LINE OF TEXT AND THOSE BOLD MILSPEC STYLE MARKERS. CHECK OUT THE CUSTARDY LUME ON THAT TRITIUM WHICH MATCHES PERFECTLY BETWEEN THE DIAL AND THOSE BROAD STICK STYLE HANDS. THE ARROW TIPPED SWEEP HAND IS A NICE TOUCH.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS ELGIN RUNS ON A 17 JEWEL A.SCHILD BASED AUTOMATIC. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN, BUT WATCH HAS BEEN RUNNING EXCELLENTLY OBSERVED OVER A WEEK OF ON/OFF WRIST OBSERVATION. DATE FLIPS APPROPRIATELY AND CAN BE VIEWED UNDER THE INTERNAL CYCLOPS OF THAT ORIGINAL HI-DOME CRYSTAL.
WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A VINTAGE TROPIC STYLE RUBBER STRAP WHICH MATES WELL WITH THIS DIVER. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY SPECIAL, THIS IS IT. NOT A MODEL OFTEN FOUND IN THE WILD, THIS HAS ALL THE TOUGH GUY VINTAGE DIVER LOOKS. WATCH COMES WITH ITS ORIGINAL ELGIN BOX.
