FOR SALE IS A SUPER SUAVE MID 60s ORIENT WEEKLY SWIMMER WITH AMAZING TEXTURED SUNBURST DIAL AND KANJI DAY WHEEL.
- CASE: ROBUST ALL STEEL CLASSIC CASE MEASURING A LARGE 37.27mm ACROSS NOT INCLUDING RECESSED CROWN BY 44mm LUG TO LUG. WHAT BEAUTIFUL CASEWORK ON THIS GUY WITH THOSE LOVELY CHAMFERED LUGS. NICE BEEFY LARGE PROPORTIONS MAKES THIS ORIENT WEAR VERY MODERN. YOU GOTTA LOVE THE SCUBA-DUDE "SWIMMER" EMBLEM ON THE BACK.
- DIAL: NOW, THIS IS SOME HIGH CLASS SHIT RIGHT HERE. LOOK AT THAT DEEPLY TEXTURED SUNBURST SILVER DIAL WHICH HAS THOSE DEEP GROOVES ETCHED INTO THE DIAL. IT REALLY IS QUITE MAGNIFICENT. I LOVE THOSE DIAMOND FACETED STEEL MARKERS WHICH REALLY PLAY WITH THE LIGHT AMAZINGLY. AND, WHO DOESN'T LOVE A SUPER COOL KANJI DAY WHEEL. THIS IS SUCH AN ABSOLUTE STUNNER.
- MOVEMENT: THIS ORIENT RUNS ON A CLEAN IN-HOUSE 19 JEWEL AUTOMATIC. SHE'S KEEPING GREAT TIME, AND THE QUICKSET(ACHIEVED BY REPEATEDLY PUSHING IN ON THE BUTTON ON THE SIDE OF THE CASE TO ADVANCE DATE) IS WORKING PERFECTLY. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN, BUT THIS ONE IS RUNNING LIKE A TOP.
WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A CLASSY SEMI-MATTE BLACK PEBBLED LEATHER STRAP WHICH LETS THE WATCH DO ALL THE TALKING. THIS ONE HAS SOME SERIOUS WRIST PRESENCE AND WEARS VERY MODERN FOR A WATCH FROM THE MID 60s. I LOVE THE MIX OF ELEGANCE AND SPORTINESS ON THIS ONE. A GREAT EVERYDAY WEAR PIECE.
