Not much to say about this stunner except that there are scratches on the case back and mark on the dial near the 6 marker (see close up pic).

I found it difficult to photograph the iridescence of the silver/white dial. 

The very distinctive 1970 case with equally distinctive bezel has been lightly re-finished and presents beautifully. 

If there's not enough distinction, the original bracelet is also distinctive, will fit an approx. 20 cm wrist and a clasp extender can be fitted if required.

Crystal is as new perspex, looks as if it has been re-polished by a previous owner.

The 7006 movement is basic and very efficient. It has never been known to die of natural causes (in my experience). It is perhaps the most successful movement of all time, first produced in 1969 and its descendants being still in production today.  It has just been professionally overhauled/serviced and functions perfectly.

Overhaul/Service Explained 

I am often asked about what an overhaul entails. So I have started adding a photo of the movement, disassembled ready to go through the cleaning machine. All old dried-up lubricants, crud and anything else that shouldn't be there is cleaned away. Then, the movement is reassembled, lubricated, adjustments made and regulated. Routinely, the back and the crown seals are replaced (where possible). The spring lugs are also replaced.

About vintage mechanical watches:

A vintage mechanical watch will not perform like a modern quartz (electronic) watch. Also, with age comes fragility and it may no longer be ideal as a daily wearer. It should be treated for what it is, something old, classical and special. Treat it as you would a vintage car - not ideal to use as a “daily driver”. Keep it in the condition at which you bought it and it will hold or, indeed, increase its value. Use it every day and it will go backwards.

About Me:

I am a born-again watchmaker! I finished my apprenticeship in 1973 having completed technical training at the RMIT, Melbourne. In 1977 I went into retail (jewellery and watches). In the mid 90’s I realised that the watches that once were common had become rare and I began to appreciate their beauty both aesthetically and mechanically. That’s when I started collecting classics. When covid hit in 2020, I retired from retail, set up a workshop at home, regained my skills and am now restoring classics with a passion.
