Description: ***********FOR PARTS/REPAIR - The movement loses a little more than 1.5 hours by the end of its approximate 31 hour power reserve period. Given this and considering that the movement shows no signs of ever having been serviced a complete overhaul is long overdue and required.***********This seldom seen vintage 1970's Paul Peugeot diver has a glossy black dial that is in pristine condition, free of any visible scratching, tool marks or defects. The lume, which remains fully intact and emits a faint, short-lived glow after being exposed to bright light, has aged to a deep golden butterscotch on the dial while the hands have developed a slightly lighter patina. The metal hands show corrosion which in my humble opinion adds oodles of character. The black countdown bezel, which shows wear and rotates smoothly bidirectionally, presents nicely. The all stainless steel case, which retains its original satin finish, shows minor wear with no visible signs of oxidation. The outer edge of the case back is stamped "SHOCKRESISTANT ANTIMAGNETIC ALL STAINLESS STEEL" with "TESTED TO A DEPTH OF 600 FEET 100% WATERPROOF AND CONDENSATION PROOF" stamped along the inner edge. The inside of the case back is stamped "CONDE CO." followed by "CASE MADE IN HONGKONG." Additionally the case is stamped "HONGKONG" between the lugs at 12 o'clock. The crystal shows scratching.The 17 jewels Standard Time (ST) 92 manual wind movement is clean. After recently winding the sharply threaded non-screwdown crown 15 full revolutions the movement ran a little more than 1.5 hours slow by the end of its approximate 31 hour power reserve period. The crown winds smoothly. Given that this watch is more than 45 years old, that the movement runs slow and considering that it shows no signs of ever having been serviced (there are no watchmaker service markings on the movement or on the inside of the case back) a complete overhaul is long overdue and required.This watch measures approximately 37.5 mm excluding the crown, approximately 40.5 mm including the crown and approximately 17.5 mm between the lugs. Case thickness, measured from the bottom of the case back to the top of the bezel, is approximately 10 mm. Including the crystal case thickness measures approximately 12.5 mm.Given the vintage nature of this watch, that the movement runs slows and considering that it has likely never been serviced 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. Any servicing costs going forward are your responsibility.Please thoroughly read this entire listing and kindly ask any and all questions you may have prior to buying as this sale is final and no refunds of any kind will be given. 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.Expedited and insured shipping along with signature confirmation will be provided. Thanks for looking! ***********FOR PARTS/REPAIR - The movement loses a little more than 1.5 hours by the end of its approximate 31 hour power reserve period.
