I've always thought I should have at least one of these in my collection and just never got around to picking one up. I wandered past this one on ebay with an absurdly high buy now price so I made an equally absurd low ball offer. I have it so you know how that story ends. In Original worn out, beat up, never been kissed condition with only minor evidence it has been opened for battery changes. The nice thing about the 754x series quartz movements is they are built from the 6309 mainplate so a 6309 auto will drop in ready made for the swap! I suspect the 4oclock crown orient saturation diver dial and movement will drop right in too, I might even check myself if I get ambitious but I am kind of liking the quartz at the moment. Enjoy the Wabi while you can I hate Wabi and I have new sapphire, hands, and insert on the way! Don't expect the photos to improve much, I don't have a light box and that double domed glass reflects everything!
