Picked up a badly-photographed "watch" that even in bad pictures was clearly an assembly of unrelated stuff. But I wanted the case, and here we are. It showed up with a surprise - a few actually. The case is near NOS. It doesn't appear to have been used for anything. It has storage wear, but that's it. Another surprise is that it came with a bracelet. Now I know I've seen this model of bracelet before but I'll be damned if I can remember where, though I suspect it's a 70m sport diver one. Am I wrong? imgur.com/a/6mxXv   No clue about the bracelet but is that a 6106-7107 case?? |

It's a 70m sport diver case, complete with indicator ring, bezel, and crystal. It would go to any of these types of watches - sushi rollers and others.

I have no idea what it's going to be, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to love it.

Hi Spencer
Great pickup on the case!
As far as the bracelet, I'm not sure. Seeing the end links would help. It's similar to several that I have, but not the same. I'm still looking...

Above is different. Close, but different. Here is the exact same bracelet, but mine has flat ends that connect differently than yours Spencer. No matter....I don't know what mine is for either!  |

Great looking bracelet though, I bet it will go nicely with many models.

the model it goes to is just on the tip of my tongue - it's killing me. I know I've seen it before, just can't place it.

It would look good on a rally diver, yes?

It would look good on a rally diver, yes? Any of those early rally divers would look fine in this case. Ditto for a lot of the early non-dive non-rally dress watches that were produced at the same time. The only thing is that the case takes a smaller diameter dial than many of these models. The small-case 6106 / 6119 70m sport divers fit great for example, but not a 6309 dial. A 6105 might fit but I think probably not. I have a 6117 World Time dial / hands / movement that might be fun to try. Even the movement & hands would be cool - a GMT sport diver! |
