Watch Description

This watch has a fabulous red fade dial, and looks great with the stainless case.  This should have a 2180 movement, but apparently was switched out to a 2182 day/date (with no window on the dial to show the feature).  Still love my "Frankenwatch" as it's in excellent condition and runs well.  '74 ABC Case Parts Catalog info follows: Case # T3304 / Caliber # 2180 / Crystal # 1525 / Crown # 56PSS / Gasket # G820 / Back rim # BR14 / Movement ring # MR562 / Spring bar # 931

Is your way back machine stuck in the 70's?? You sure have picked up some beauties.

Thanks JP.  I've had most of these when I joined the site here, I just didn't take the time to add them to the database.

Too bad, this one's heading to the Non-Conforming category. What a shame to hide a perfectly good Day/Date movement behind  a 'plain' dial. (Why doesn't Mrs. Thatcher DO something?)
