Grail finaly hunted down
Ever since I became interested in watches I have lusted after this one.
A little test can somebody identify it?
I am wondering it has a # on the caseback could it be an issued watch?
Carry on

Well done Chew
Watch has a little bit of wabi but is pretty good for a watch from the 70's
I now have 5 AD this size

Awesome, Stu. Didn't take too long to track a nice example down after missing that piece on Ebay.

Re: Grail finaly hunted down
Oh nice Stu ! ..You hardly ever see these. Man oh man !!! As if the awesome
orange wasn't enough. Then you have the most amazing speedometer style dial,
and unique hands. It's really phenomenal ! ..Even the bezel, and how it is sectioned
off is excellent.
Unbelievably nice Stu ! Big congratulations on finding, and adding this to
your collection !

Re: Grail finaly hunted down
Congrats All ways liked those how big are those ? And how's the battery life in those shorter than quartz ? I have a vintage Hamilton Electric with the same type movement that's been giving me trouble ever since I bought it years ago hard finding any one that works on the first electric battery watches of there day. There's one I know of that specializes in these movements that I got to email one of these days to see what he charges. Does the depth gauge still work on that one ?

I would settle for it passing a pressure test.
I am going forward assuming it does not though

This is the much rarer colour option
The different colour other one is the much more "common" colour if you can say such a thing
I also have a similar blue one but mine is badged a Rotary

Re: Grail finaly hunted down
Thx for the link. Would like it to be 100% confirmed functional for that price though. Wonder who can service this and what kinda $$ it would cost to get 100%
