<\/a><\/p>\nPicked this watch with 2 others as part of my ongoing vintage watch collecting. \u00a0It looks like an 70’s style ‘Diver’s’ watch. \u00a0It in no way is actually a diver’s watch, since it is not waterproof. \u00a0It has a very easy to read dial with huge, luminous markers and hands. \u00a0The case is submariner style with a modern 37mm diameter and 18mm lugs. \u00a0The plating over the base metal is in excellent shape. \u00a0I had to buff out some pretty deep scratches in the crystal and refresh the markers on the bezel, but overall, it is in pretty good shape. \u00a0The wear adds some character to the watch as well. \u00a0The crown is large and easy to turn. \u00a0Accuracy is acceptable, running about +30 a day.<\/p>\n

It is a low beat, pin lever with a single jewel on the balance wheel. The photo above is not my actual movement, but looking inside revealed the exact same movement and a name Basis ZZ. Don\u2019t know what that means, but that is what it was stamped. It was also immaculate, which is pretty remarkable the watch is only dustproof.<\/p>\n Overall, I think I got a great deal and good beater watch with unique looks. \u00a0It is a very easy watch to read, and with only one jewel, pretty much shock proof. \u00a0I enjoyed<\/p>\n Features: Lucerne De Luxe Diver’s Style Picked this watch with 2 others as part of my ongoing vintage watch collecting. \u00a0It looks like an 70’s style ‘Diver’s’ watch. \u00a0It in no way is actually a diver’s watch, since it is not waterproof. \u00a0It has a very easy to read dial with \u2026 Continue reading <\/a><\/p>\n
