Midsize oyster Speedking. The Speedking line were midsized or boys size watches which now look great on a woman or a man with less sizable wrists. Its understated and classic design contrast the "busier" look of some of the modern Rolex watches. The watch is all correct down to all the hands, dial, and crown. The stainless steel Oyster case is in excellent condition. The silver dial is original with light aging and toning, and gives the watch a true vintage look. And the high-grade, manually wound movement is clean. My watchmaker has cleaned and oiled the movement and replaced all of the waterproofing seals with new gaskets. |
