This is a Favre-Leuba Sea Rader 36000. It is auto winding, has auto(quik set) date and is all original, including the bracelet.
The dial and hands are perfect. What you see are some really small blemishes on the crystal.
The clasp on this thing has an extra 4mm of spring travel so you never have to adjust it for when your wrist swells. I have an additional 1/2" of extra links for it but just never got around to installing them.
Why? you say? Well even though the movement sings along at 36000bph, the cannon pinion is loose and the hands ether don't move or they drag slowly.
Apart from a servicing and restaking the cannon pinion, this one is almost ready to go.
I'm not going to tackle this one and I don't know if the price of a service from one of our gurus would cost more than I could get for it on ePay.
Anyway, just thought I'd take it out, capture some pics and show it off before it goes back in the box.
