FOR SALE IS A SUPER SHARP MID 60s ROX AUTOMATIC SKIN-DIVER
-
CASE: SLEEK AND SEXY ALL-STEEL CASE MEASURING A LARGE 38.2mm ACROSS BEZEL NOT INCLUDING CROWN. THIS CASE REMINDS ME OF THE OLLECH AND WAJS MODELS OF THIS TIME PERIOD WITH THE FACETING ON THE INSIDE OF THOSE THIN LONG STICK LUGS. I DIG THAT REALLY SHARP AND WELL PRESERVED BLACK ANODIZED BEZEL WITH THE COUNTDOWN TIMER. BEZEL ROTATES WITH THE PERFECT AMOUNT OF FRICTION, AND THE LUME PLOT IS NICELY PRESERVED. THE SUBMARINE ON THE CASEBACK IS A NICE TOUCH.
-
DIAL: THIS DIAL IS SUCH A LOOKER. I LOVE THE MIXTURE OF GLOSS BLACK WITH ALL OF THAT DREAMY CREAMY CUSTARDY AGED LUME. I DIG THAT EXPLORER STYLE LAYOUT WITH THE 12/6/9 ARABIC NUMERALS INTERSPERSED WITH THOSE HEAVY ARROW LUMED MARKERS. THE TRITIUM HAS THAT PERFECT YELLOW COLOR WHICH IS CONSISTENT FROM THE DIAL TO THOSE GORGEOUS DAGGER STYLE DIVE HANDS. SUCH A WELL EXECUTED AND WELL BALANCED DIAL.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS ROX RUNS ON A 25 JEWEL A.SCHILD AUTOMATIC WITH SEMI-QUICKSET DATE. WATCH RUNS SMOOTH AND IS KEEPING FANTASTIC TIME. WHILE THE SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN, THIS IS A SOLID RUNNER
- THIS DIVER DUDE IS MOUNTED ON A BITCHIN' VINTAGE BEADS OF RICE BRACELET WHICH FITS THE CASE/LUGS NICELY AND HAS PLENTY OF MICRO-ADJUSTS TO FIT A 7.5"+ WRIST. CAN'T SAY I KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE ROX BRAND, BUT THIS HAS ALL THE HALLMARKS OF A CLASSIC SKIN-DIVER FROM THAT CLASSIC CASE TO THE KILLER EXPLORER STYLE DIAL, THIS IS A TOTAL BLAST TO WEAR AND JUST OOZES COOL
