 Thats a beauty!! Looks kind of like an acadamy award? I am new to this but this watch shares a lot of the same features.

Very very nice...we just need to identify these things now. Case looks to be stamped L2

Good one, Wayne...

Got digital calipers? I was outsniped on this model, several times... This is the cleanest one I've seen! Might well be IDable, via crystal specs.???

Wayne, has this model been positively identified as 'Sea Shell Bezel'?

If so I'll add it to the model list if not can it please be removed from 'other' as this is for actual model names.

Thanks!

Stephen,

Sea Shell was just a name given to the case styling.
