Watch Description

17 Jewel, 6AE Movement, definately a man's size for the day...Case is 17mm x 27mm excluding the crown and lugs. The case on this cleaned up pretty nicely.  Looks like the original band.  Someone mentioned the Brenton earlier but there's definatly case variation on the top and bottom bezel, not just etching.

It looks great.  Nice case design.  I would get that dial redone and keep it, but if you decide to sell, please let me know.

So... I guess the closest so far is the one Lisa mentioned.. The Brenton.  Though that was is advertised as a 21 Jewel and this watch is 17?

Plains,

Is the bezel curved where the crystal sits or is it flat on both dimensions?

Found the crystal for it but no name yet, rare enough that a redial should be in order.

I'm going to have to get off my butt this fall and get this one fixed up... at least I know the crystal size now!  Heh...
