FOR REPAIR – while the date and time can be set and the crown wound without issue, the movement does not run. Given this and considering that the movement appears to have been last serviced more than 30 years ago, a complete overhaul is required. This vintage Aquadive has a multicolored “T SWISS MADE T” signed dial that appears to be in pristine condition, free of any scratching, tool marks, chipping or defects. Please note that there is dust/debris on the underbelly of the crystal and to a lesser degree the dial. The original lume, which no longer glows after being exposed to bright light, has aged gracefully to a warm butterscotch hue. The minute hand is missing some lume. The silver bezel, which rotates bidirectionally a bit stiffly, shows wear. The heavy-duty all stainless steel case shows bruising with no visible signs of oxidation. The outer edge of the case back is stamped “TESTED 20 ATU ALL STAINLESS STEEL SWISS MADE WATERRESISTANT” with “5723” followed by “10906” stamped in the center. The inside of the case back is stamped NAC SALES INC. The crystal shows scratching and dust/debris on its underbelly. The 17 jewels unadjusted Swiss “NAC SALES INC” stamped ETA 2873 automatic movement with quickset date function is clean but does not run. The date and time can be set and the crown wound without issue. The quickset date function works flawlessly by unscrewing the screwdown crown, pulling it out to the first position and then turning it clockwise until the desired date has been reached. The crown screws down perfectly as it should and winds smoothly. Given that the movement does not run and considering that it was likely last serviced in the 1980’s (the lone watchmaker service marking on the inside of the case back appears to be from either 1985 or 1987) a complete overhaul is required. This watch measures approximately 38 mm excluding the crown, approximately 42 mm including the crown and approximately 18.5 mm between the lugs. Case thickness, measured from the bottom of the case back to the top of the bezel, is approximately 9 mm. Including the crystal case thickness measures approximately 11 mm. This watch comes on a stainless steel “HONG KONG” stamped bracelet that is in excellent condition showing little stretch and a buckle that snaps tightly shut. It will likely accommodate up to a 7 inch wrist. Given that the movement does not run and considering that it likely hasn’t been serviced in more than 30 years a complete overhaul is required. As such there are no warranties, express or implied, attached with the sale of this watch. Vintage means old and while my personal belief is that old-school means better quality and workmanship, things can and do go wrong from time to time. For this watch that time is now. Any servicing costs going forward are your responsibility. And please study the 12 high magnification pictures carefully as they are part of the description and serve as an accurate representation of the condition of this watch.
